Little Siegfrid

This photo was taken on 26th June 1936 in Bratislava. It shows my little brother Siegfrid F., in the arms of some man whom I don't know.

I was born, as my parents' first child, in 1928. They named me Henrich, or informally Harry. Several years later, on 28th February 1935, my brother, Siegfrid, was born. My brother and I got along very well. He was an agreeable kid. But we didn't get to enjoy very much fun and games outside, because the anti-Jewish laws [5] began coming out, so we mostly stayed inside.
