I only finished two years of my studies in Italy, from 1936 to 1938. Then I returned to Kolozsvar to continue my studies. My father asked me to come home. He thought that due to the situation in Europe, the imminence of war, it was better to keep the family together. My years as a student in Kolozsvar weren’t easy. When the sympathy towards the Iron Guard began to grow, it also had an impact on the universities. The Jews were beaten constantly. The Jewish students were beaten up, while the girls were handled with ‘politeness’: they only got a slap on the back.
