Poor living conditions and anti-Jewish attitudes in Poland persuaded the family to move in 1925 to Palestine, where they estab\u00adlished a candle-making business. Within two years Korman migrated to Australia, in search of better prospects. Arriving in Melbourne on 6 June 1927, he adopted the name Stanley. First he obtained a labouring job at Australian Glass Manufacturers Co. Ltd, Spotswood, and later he became a presser in a Brunswick hosiery mill. On 10 September 1930 at the Jewish Synagogue, East Melbourne, he married English-born Sylvia Lazarus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"infoList\"><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2 bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_medium bt_bb_icon_size_normal bt_bb_text_size_normal bt_bb_separator_v2_without_content\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner\"><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_before\"><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_content\"><span  data-ico-=\"\" class=\"bt_bb_icon_holder\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_after\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column_inner col-xxl-6 col-xl-6 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal\"  data-width=\"6\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_inner_content\"><div  class=\"bt_bb_text\" ><\/p>\n<div id=\"23005\" class=\"biographyContent textContent\">\n<p>Naturalised on 28 October 1932, Korman set up a small hosiery business at North Carlton, soon renamed Centenary Woollen Mills Pty Ltd. In 1935-39 he brought his father and other family members to Australia. His firm moved to a larger mill at Bentleigh in 1939 and in World War II enjoyed profitable defence contracts. In 1945 he formed a family company, Stanhill Pty Ltd, its name deriving from a combination of his own name and that of his brother Hilel; the headquarters were at 34 Queens Road. He sold Centenary in 1948.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"infoList\"><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2 bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_medium bt_bb_icon_size_normal bt_bb_text_size_normal bt_bb_separator_v2_without_content\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner\"><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_before\"><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_content\"><span  data-ico-=\"\" class=\"bt_bb_icon_holder\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_after\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- cell_inner --><\/div><!-- cell --><\/div><!-- port --><div class=\"bt_bb_section_top_section_coverage_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stanhillmelbourne.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/top_cover_longer.png\" alt=\"bt_bb_section_top_section_coverage_image\" \/><\/div><\/section><section id=\"bt_bb_section6addedfb58013\" class=\"bt_bb_section bt_bb_layout_boxed_1200\"  data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_port\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row \"  data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row_holder\" ><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-6 col-xl-6 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal\"  data-width=\"6\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><div class=\" bt_bb_row_inner\"   data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row_inner_holder\"  ><div  class=\"bt_bb_column_inner col-xxl-6 col-xl-6 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal\"  data-width=\"6\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_inner_content\"><div  class=\"bt_bb_text\" ><\/p>\n<div id=\"23005\" class=\"biographyContent textContent\">\n<p>Korman has been described by Trevor Sykes as `short and dapper in a pinstripe suit and meticulously trimmed pencil moustache\u2019, and as having `boundless vision and energy\u2019. When visiting Miami, Florida, United States of America, in 1952, he was impressed with the artificial island developments and the international-standard hotels. Next year Stanhill acquired the Chevron Hotel, near Queens Road, and in 1955 Scott\u2019s Hotel in the city. The Korman family bought up several thousand acres at Broadmeadows in 1954\u201358 and 750 acres (304 ha) at Heidelberg in 1958 for housing developments. At Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Korman developed Chevron Island and the Paradise Island canal estate and built the first stage of the Chevron Hotel (opened in 1958). By 1959 construction of the Chevron Hotel, Sydney, and further stages of the Surfers Paradise hotel were under way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"infoList\"><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2 bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_medium bt_bb_icon_size_normal bt_bb_text_size_normal bt_bb_separator_v2_without_content\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner\"><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_before\"><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_content\"><span  data-ico-=\"\" class=\"bt_bb_icon_holder\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_after\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column_inner col-xxl-6 col-xl-6 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal\"  data-width=\"6\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_inner_content\"><div  class=\"bt_bb_text\" ><\/p>\n<div id=\"23005\" class=\"biographyContent textContent\">\n<p>Not content with these projects, in late 1957 Stanhill Holdings Ltd had acquired Automobile Finance Co. of Australia Ltd, renamed next year Factors Ltd. Factors soon had controlling interests in the clothing chain stores Rockman\u2019s Showrooms Ltd and Roger David Pty Ltd, and in Queensland Mines Ltd. Returning to his pre-war textile interests, in 1960 Korman arranged for Factors to take over Holeproof Industries Ltd, Holeproof Industries Ltd (New Zealand) and Australian Knitting Mills Ltd. By 1960 he presided over a group of 150 companies with interlocking share holdings and board memberships.

The Federal government\u2019s credit squeeze in 1960 dealt Stanhill and Factors a severe blow: valuations of their properties fell; a too rapid expansion of Rockman\u2019s into junior department stores incurred heavy trading losses; and the Sydney Chevron had been over-capitalised. Shares in Stanhill Consolidated Ltd fell from a high of 23 shillings to five pence by 1963 and that year Factors went into receivership. In 1964 he was charged with authorising the issue of a false prospectus. The Victorian government commissioned three reports by Peter Murphy, QC, into Stanhill and Factors, all with adverse findings and all particularly critical of Korman, whom Murphy found `unprincipled and untrustworthy\u2019. Shareholders had lost about \u00a324 million. Korman was convicted on 26 October 1966, and sentenced to six months\u2019 gaol. Losing a court appeal and harbouring considerable bitterness at being singled out, he served four and a half months.<\/p>\n<p>On his release Korman\u2019s family persuaded him to start afresh in the USA. Aged 63, he began again at Phoenix, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada, building a hotel, several supermarkets, mobile-home parks and office developments. Back in Queensland in 1985, he was warmly welcomed as the man who had put Surfers Paradise on the map. He planned new ventures there but, after adverse reportage by southern newspapers, returned to America in 1986. Survived by his wife and sons, he died on 26 July 1988 at Las Vegas and was buried in a Chevra Kadisha cemetery, Melbourne. The cardiovascular diagnostic centre at the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, which he funded in 1959, and the Korman wing of the Mount Scopus (War Memorial) College, Burwood, were named after him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"infoList\"><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2 bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_medium bt_bb_icon_size_normal bt_bb_text_size_normal
