William Pasternak

This is a photo of my father's brother William Pasternak as an officer of the Hungarian Army. Uncle William or Vilmos was a high military officer. He was a representative of the Jewish community in Presov and a deputy of the Presov council in the interwar period. He had a son, Tomas, my cousin, who died along with Uncle William and my father in Dachau in 1945.
