Roszalia Klein

This is my paternal grandmother, Roszalia Klein. She was born in Boj, Slovakia, which was in Austro-Hungary at the time. Grandmother Roszalia was deaf. She had three children: my father, Maximilian, Miklos and a third child, whose name I cannot remember. She died in Auschwitz in 1944. Her husband was Ignatz Klein. They used to call him Natzi, but, obviously, no one used that name after the 1930s. He had been in the Austro-Hungarian army. He was a farmer and lived in a small town, Kralovsky Chlmec. He supported his family working as a manual laborer and transporting goods.
