Blanka Dvorska with her son

Blanka Dvorska with her son

Blanka with her older son. The photograph is most likely from the end of the 1940s. And it’s from Presov.

In any case, my husband and I lived in Presov in our apartment. In 1946 our first son was born, and we named him Peter. Three years later, our second son, Juraj, was born. Also in Presov. We didn't raise our sons in a Jewish spirit at all. We didn't observe any holidays, neither Jewish nor Christian ones. I said to myself: "Religion is a private matter. It's my thing, and it's not anyone's business."
