This photograph was taken in the yard of my family home in Piestany in 1972. Standing on the left is my father, Alexander Urban, and beside him is my cousin Tibor Urban, the son of my father’s brother Rudolf. Rudolf Urban had two sons. One was named Tibor, and the other Imre. Imre left with the Aliyah for the Palestine in 1938. There he joined the army, and worked his way up to colonel. He was in the Israeli army his whole life. When he retired from the army, he moved to Australia. His brother Tibor survived the Holocaust and moved to Israel to be with his brother. He started a tailoring business in the town of Ramat Gan. He employed around 50 people. They've both since died.
