Tag #120630 - Interview #78437 (Peter Reisz)

My grandparents owned and operated a food shop before the First World War.  But my maternal grandfather, Kalman Breiner, was a prisoner of war for a long time during World War I, and my grandmother had to stay at home with the three kids, so the business went under.  After the war my grandfather worked as an agent for the Szent Istvan Feed Plant, and traveled around the villages near Budapest selling their goods.  He died in 1938.  After my grandfather’s death the children were cared for my grandmother, who from then on, always lived with her children.
