Selected text
I was born on June 18, 1929, in Rad, where there were six Jewish families.
I had two brothers: Arnold was born in 1931, and Pavel was born in 1934.
I started to go to school in 1934 in Kosice. It was really hard at first
because I didn't know any Slovak, but I was a good student and worked hard.
In Kosice, I lived with my mother's mother, who kept a strictly kosher
home. In 1938, the Hungarians arrived, and as a Jew I was not allowed to go
to school. I was sorry I couldn't continue. I loved to study. I went back
to our village and went to school there. I completed eight years.
