Jozef Steiner and Margita Steinerova

Jozef Steiner and Margita Steinerova

The photo was taken in 1934 in Trencianske Teplice. You can see my parents, Jozef Steiner and Margita Steinerova, nee Abrahamova, having dinner. My father was wearing a hat for dinner. My father came from a huge family; he had nine siblings: Nely, Wilhelm, Moritz, Siegfried, Esperance, Max, Margit, Gustav and Josefine. My father was born in 1895 in Bratislava, Slovakia, then Austria-Hungary. He became the owner of the Steiner bookshop along with his brother Max. He ended his life in the Holocaust in Auschwitz concentration camp in 1942. I have to say that I was never really close to my mother. She never had time for me, so I do not know much about her. My mother also died in Auschwitz in 1942.
