Viola Rozalia Fischerova with her daughter Helenka
This is a photo of me when my older daughter Helenka was born. The photo was taken in Lucenec in the 1950s. 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.
