Heda Ambrova and her sister Magda Erdelyiova

This is a photo of me (Heda Ambrova) with my sister (Magda Erdelyiova), and was taken in a photo studio in Piestany, probably in 1924.

I was born on 12th September 1922 in Piestany as Hedviga Erdelyiova. We lived in what is now Teplicka Street, before it was Wilsonova Street No. 22. We didn't have any animals, not even a canary. My sister's name was Magda. She was born on 16th May 1920 in Piestany, and was two and a half years older.
