Dora Rozenberg`s family

Dora Rozenberg`s family

This is my family. These are: my father, my youngest brother, me and my mother. My mother Cecilia Merkler, known as Cilka, was born in Cantavir on September 29, 1890. She spoke Hungarian and she finished the sixth grade of elementary school. She did not work, she was a housewife. My father's name was Salomon. He worked as a glazier and had a very fine shop. I think that the two of them met in the same manner that all Jews did back then, a sathen introduced them. They married on March 27, 1914 in Cantavir in the small place of worship (synagogue). My brother was named Djordje (at home we called him Djurika), he was born on August 28, 1919. First he was in a work camp, like all Hungarian Jews, and later in Mathausen, Gunskirchen. During the war, first he was in a work camp, like all Hungarian Jews, and later in Mathausen, Gunskirchen. He survived. My father was taken to forced labor and died. My mother was deported and went through forced labor and concentration camps. She did survive and died in 1974. She is buried in the Jewish cemetery. He had more education than I did, he finished medical school and specialized in anesthesiology in Israel. There he died. He went to Israel after the war in 1948 with his wife Mira (nee Kop) who today lives in Israel. He has two children, Jorama and Nomi, who live there.
