Photo of Maria, my daughter, around the age of one. She graduated from an economic high school, and worked first in a ministry, and later in social services. She has two sons, Tibor and Zoltan. Tibor married a Gypsy girl and became a peddler. They have one daughter, Anita, who is 10 years old. We do not really keep in touch with them. Zoltan is now 36 years old and works as a cook. He married a Bulgarian girl and they have a child, Sandor. They live with me in my flat. I am painfully conscious of the fact that everybody in my family married Gentiles, and I feel as if I were the only Jew left in the family.
