Jozsef Faludi's middle son, Elek Faludi

This is my son Lexi. He had beautiful curly hair. We cut it first when he was six. My wife Mazal was pregnant with him when we left Palestine in 1948 and Elek was born in Budapest. We wanted to call him Alex, but the birth registry office refused to register this name. This is how he became Elek. He graduated from a vocational secondary school of engineering and then worked as a skilled worker. Later he became a manager. In the 1990s, he set up his own small pasta making factory with his wife. He married in the middle of the 70s and they have two daughters. Both of them work already.
