Edit Kovacs' mother's sister Szeren Sarkadi, her husband Ferenc Sarkadi and their daughter Klara

My mother's sister Szeren, her husband Ferenc Sarkadi and their daughter Klara. Ferenc was a merchant in men's clothing and they lived in a very fancy district of Budapest, on Andrassy Avenue, in a big flat. They were very rich and quite observant. The couple was deported from Ujpest. On the train, Szeren was slapped in the face by an Arrow-Cross man. When her husband tried to protect her, he was shot dead. She died in Auschwitz. Their daughter was hiding in Budapest with false Christian papers. Klara married at the end of the 1940s. Her husband, Janos Molnar, was also a merchant in men's clothing. They had two children, a son born in 1950, and a daughter born in 1956, during their crossing to Australia. They left Hungary during the revolution of 1956 and settled in Australia. Klara worked as a piano teacher and both their children became musicians. She does not keep in touch with me because, as she says, she does not want to have anything to do with Jews.
