Photos of my Family.
This picture is the very last photo, before my father was taken to the Forced Labor Camp, which was created for able bodied Jewish males. My father Moritz is on the far right in
the window. In the front row is my mother (Gizella) and I am sitting on her lap. My sister Ibolya stands behind our mom. We are with our aunts and cousins for the very last time.

This family photo was taken while we were still in peaceful times, before our family was torn apart by the Holocaust. This picture was of my immediate family and two of my cousins.
I brought both photos with me as my husband Leslie and I escaped from Hungary in 1956.
