Australia's most expensive home owners: son of Auschwitz survivor and his wife were on the horror flight

The Israeli embassy in Canberra confirmed that Steven and Carol Moss, heirs to an Australian fashion chain and son of an Auschwitz survivor, were among the passengers on a Flydubai flight that was caught up in an attempted attack. The couple, who were once the owners of Australia's most expensive home, have been recognized for their contributions to Jewish schools in Sydney and Tel Aviv University.

The Israeli embassy in Canberra confirmed that Steven and Carol Moss, a Jewish couple from Sydney, Australia, were among the passengers on a Flydubai flight that was allegedly caught up in an attempted terrorist attack. Sam, Steven's father, was a survivor of the Auschwitz extermination camp and a co-founder of the Australian clothing chain Katies, established in 1956. Steven and Carol Moss inherited the fashion chain, which has since closed its operations. The couple were once the owners of Australia's most expensive home, a Scottish estate in eastern Sydney sold in 2022 for $130 million. They also sold another home in the luxury suburb of Point Piper in Sydney, the "Edgewater Estate," purchased in 1985 for $5 million and sold in 2020 for $95 million. The couple have been described as "pillars" of the Sydney Jewish community and have been recognized for their contributions to Jewish schools in Sydney and Tel Aviv University. Holocaust survivor Sam Moss received an honorary doctorate from Tel Aviv University in 1990 and died in 2016 at the age of 90.
