Silvia's husband tells that when Silvia's parents moved back to Kolozsvar
in 1953-54, that is at retirement age - then a workers home, blocks near
the Kolozsvar porcelain factory were being built - and they were given a
small two-roomed apartment. In the meantime they started to build the
workers' blocks, including this block (where we live now). Then various
factories were given apartments, the factory (leaders) decided not the town
council, to whom to give them (of the workers). The factory had a list (of
the likely candidates), so that the factory organized (apartments) for the
workers. At that time I went to one of the managers and we got it (the
apartment) like that. I offered the apartment (where Silvia's parents
lived) and ours. And then we moved in together (into the present, third
apartment), there were five of us. This was at the beginning of the 1960s.
