Blanka with her friend Erika

Report an issue

This is a photo of me and by good friend Erika. Her father was a doctor. The photograph is from 1938, and was taken in Breznica.

Already back in people's school I met some girls with whom I was later very good friends. As I was attending a Jewish people's school, they were of course Jewish girls. We'd get together whenever we could, and spent our free time together. We'd always meet on Saturday afternoon, and talk about all sorts of things. About three or four of us would get together, and we'd discuss anything that came along. This habit lasted even after the war, even though only a few of us survived.
