Viola Rozalia Fischerova and her daughter Vierka at a 1st May parade
In this picture I?m with my daughter Vierka during a 1st May parade. The photo was likely taken in Lucenec sometime at the beginning of the 1960s. After the war they persecuted me too, and wouldn't even give me a proper job. For 29 years I worked as an economist for an agricultural company in Lucenec. At work they didn't call me anything else but a dirty old Jew. We had a very hard life. I'm very worn out; while my husband was in jail, I had to take care of the family. Because he was in jail, they gave me the lowest wages. During the day I worked, and at night I sewed, in order to support the family.
