Maria Bondyova

This is my maternal grandmother, Maria Bondyova, nee Buchwaldova.

The house and company of my grandfather, Julius Bondy, was located on the main square of Holic. He produced soda water; but it was rather his wife who ran the company. My grandparents weren't rich; they were middle class businessmen.

My grandmother had two brothers who became Catholic priests and lived on the borderland. The family had no contact with them; they were probably resentful of them, I don't know anything about their later fate. My grandmother died quite early, I don't remember her death or funeral.
