Tag #136322 - Interview #78490 (Katalin Kallos Havas)

After four years we moved to Budai Nagy Antal Street, into another one-bedroom apartment. We told them we would like to have another child, but there wasn’t enough room there, and if they gave us a larger apartment, we could have a child after nine months. Indeed, nine months after we moved out from there, in 1955, our second son, Gyorgy, was born. This apartment was in a peasant house with no plumbing on Szamoskozi Street. The neighborhood wasn’t developed and organized at all, it was almost village-like. When my husband went to work from there, he had a pair of shoes and a clothes brush in his briefcase, because if there was rain, the mud was up to his chin, and otherwise his trousers were dusty up to the knees. We lived there for three years, until 1958.
