Helmut Stern

This is a picture of my grandfather Helmut Stern taken on 26th August 1935. This photo was probably taken in the yard of their house in Palisády. My grandfather was born in Opava in 1906, when my great-grandfather was working there. My grandfather attended the Czechoslovak State Trade Academy in Bratislava from 1922-23. At least two thirds of the students were of Jewish origin. The only person still alive from his class is Mr. Marcel Kucera, who is about 90 now. After the war my grandfather worked as an accountant.
