Paul Storm – Unlocking the Blau Family Story: 4711 and a Sydney Discovery

Paul Storm brings us the remarkable story of how two hidden tea chests discovered under a Sydney house brought to light the dark history of the Blau family.

Coming as migrants to Sydney in 1908, they became the owners of a successful pharmaceutical supply company. This was the family who introduced the famous 4711 Eau de Cologne brand to Australia. The treasure trove of personal letters also revealed a family with hidden secrets and alien interests during World War I.
