Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that anyone seeing your post will know of this family, Ian.

No GR member has any of them on their GR tree.

Someone called Vicki has a Michael Pinkus born 1942 on her GR tree - no place of birth given, but looking at other Pinkuses on her tree, they seem to be a family in Australia - so not the right ones.

Karin (and other family members) is on 8 trees on Ancestry - 6 public, 2 private.
However, Michael is the only child mentioned on any of the public trees - born in Berlin, and died in Amsterdam.
None of the trees offer any documentary proof.

Looking at the dates shows that their arrival in Holland was the start of particularly difficult times.
You have death years for the couple - so I presume you know what country they died in. Essential to know where in terms of research. Getting their death certificates might lead you to other family members.

Added: this request has also been added to Rootschat which mentions 4 children.

A private tree on GENI says both died in Amsterdam. You need to look into how to obtain Dutch records.
