Besides my father, my grandfather and grandmother also had another son and daughter. My father’s Hebrew name was Joshua. But in the birth register, he’s written as Osias W., and his brother was named Pinchas W. My uncle Pinchas fought in World War I. I don’t know if he was wounded in battle, or suffered from shock, but after that he constantly trembled. He was married, he took a girl from Spis as his wife. They had two sons, Reuben and Jakub. Both of them died during fighting in the Slovak National Uprising [1].

My father’s sister was named Ester. It was said that she had been very pretty. Before World War I, Ester ran away from home to America. There she married a lawyer, Dr. Solomon. Later my son and I tried to find out something more about her, but as there are very many Solomons in America, I didn’t manage to establish contact with this part of the family.
