Jewish soldiers

Report an issue

In this photograph, my husband Miroslav (second from left, sitting on the bench by the table) is together with his comrades in arms - Jewish soldiers. The photograph is from 1938, but unfortunately I don’t know where it was taken.

I married Miroslav Dvorsky, on 11th September 1945. My husband's original name was Moric Moskovic. Like me, he was also a Jew. He was two years older than I, and was born in 1914. He was from Brezovice, near Sabinov. We had a civil wedding. Neither my husband nor I were interested in a clerical wedding, and we didn't observe any Jewish traditions in our household.
