Edit Kovacs with her first husband, Vilmos Weisz, and their daughter, Maria Daragos
The photo was taken when Vilmos was home on leave from forced labor. Vilmos was an apprentice electrician. He was drafted in 1942, a year after our marriage. At first he worked in the Weisz Manfred Steel Factory (which had also been Jewish before its confiscation) in Budapest. He was taken to the forced labor camp at Balf in November 1944, where he was beaten to death because he had stolen one small potato.
