Rosa Rosenstein with her son Zwi Bar-David

Rosa Rosenstein with her son Zwi Bar-David

Here you can see me with my son, Zwi Bar-David [born Georg Rosenstein]. The photo was taken in our apartment on Wiedner Hauptstrasse in Vienna's fourth district in the year 1948. After the war, it took a while until I moved from Budapest to Vienna with my son. My husband had a certificate stating that he had been persecuted on racist grounds and was in a camp. Back then the districts of Vienna were shared out among the victorious powers. The major of our district was a communist, and my husband was allocated an apartment thanks to this certificate.
