We met each other (Laszlo Nussbaum and I) at nursery and primary school, as
little boy and girl. But we were not in the same group (didn't play
together). At primary school we always had the same raincoat, I always
think of that. It was polka dotted and I was embarrassed to go into class,
that we had the same coat. When the war ended we went back to Torda (Laszlo
was later Silvia's husband, as a 16 year-old child he had been freed from
Buchenwald concentration camp. Nobody survived of his family in Kolozsvar
so he went to Torda, where one of his aunts and an uncle lived). I must
have been about in the 6th grade of high school and he entered the school,
and we got to know each other again. And he spoke Romanain well. Then he
always came to our house. (He listened all day while Silvia practised the
violin). My mother really liked him, as he substituted for my brother, (she
looked on him as a son). I did not know either his grandfather or
grandmother, only his aunt and uncle, as his aunt (Zita Weinberger,
Laszlo's mother's younger sister) was a piano teacher.
