With my brother at the park

This is a photograph of me, Ladislav Urban, and my brother, Tomas Urban, in Piestany in 1939. My brother and didn’t get to play much together in children. When he was getting to an age where we could have started playing, we had to go into hiding and later they deported us to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. We had tremendous luck, and both of us managed to survive this hell.
