Jozef Samolovic and Katarina Samolovicova
This photo was taken on Sabinovska Street in Presov in 1941. It shows my mother's sister Katarina Samolovicova, nee Preisova and her husband Jozef Samolovic. Sad memories are connected with this picture. Katarina, who lived in Kosino, which was part of Hungary then, came to visit her parents. They didn't know that this was going to be their last encounter. My grandparents died in the Holocaust. They were deported in 1942 and perished in Auschwitz in 1945.
