Henrich Brody
This is a picture of Henrich Brody, my grandmother's brother, when in the military. The photo was taken in 1908. My grandmother's family was one of the oldest families of Hlohovec. Hlohovec is a small town some 50 kilometers from Bratislava. Its Jewish community dates back to medieval times. Before the war some 1,000 Jews lived in Hlohovec. My great-grandmother, Sofia Brodyova, nee Quitt, was born in 1863 and died in 1923. Her husband was Jakob Brody [1861-1932], who, as far as I know, owned a pub in Hlohovec. Their children were Jeno, Katy, Bela, Viliam, Melania, Henrich, Ignac, Marcus and my grandmother Janka.
