Jakob Brody

This is my great-grandfather Jakob Brody. The photo was taken in Hlohovec in 1920. Jakub Brody is the father of Johanna Sternova, nee Brodyova, my grandmother. He married Sofia Brody, nee Quitt, who was born in 1863 in Hlohovec and died in 1923 in Hlohovec. As far as I know, my great-grandfather owned a pub in Hlohovec. Their children were Jeno, Katy, Bela, Viliam, Melania, Henrich, Ignac, Marcus and my grandmother Johanna or Janka. 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.
