Mor Hahn

I can't say anything about him, only that this is Mor Hahn, my husband's father. I think he was born near to Szeged, in Szentivanypuszta in 1873. He was some sort of copy editor in a print works. He died in 1914, of tuberculosis. He was a socialist. He lived in Budapest. My mother-in-law told me a story about him once: that there were some so-called 'awakening Hungarians' demonstrating. They lived upstairs and her husband emptied a child's potty onto them from the window. I never asked my husband about him, because he couldn't remember either, as he was still a child when he died.
