This is Viliam Brody, my grandmother's brother. The photo was taken in the 1930s.
An interesting fact was that two Brody siblings, Janka Brodyova and Viliam Brody married two siblings of the Stern family in a mutual wedding. Viliam married Adriana and Janka married my grandfather Helmut.
From 1917-1918, Viliam Brody attended Pozsonyi felso kereskedelmi iskola [Academy of Commerce] in Bratislava. Most of the students were of Jewish origin. In 1939 Viliam and his wife Adriana left for Great Britain, where she was a lecturer at university. Viliam established a small firm for typing machines which later became a part of IBM. He died in Oxford in 1995. They didn't have children.
