Judit Kinszki’s aunt, Aranka Pollak and her family

Judit Kinszki’s aunt, Aranka Pollak and her family

My aunt Aranka and her husband Arpad Pollak and their two boys Peter and Pisti. 

[My maternal grandparents] had eleven children, all of whom were born in Budapest. The first two children died immediately after birth. The last one was Aranka. She had a profession; I think she was a glove-maker. She got married - it was a forced marriage; she felt very old, and chose to be the wife of a man called Pollak. She was always saying that she didn't love him. She had two children, and the relatives are still alive, somewhere.
