Hilda Friedmannova

This is a photograph of my grandmother Hilda Friedmannova. The photo is probably from the 1920s, and I’m assuming it was taken in Stropkov, where my grandparents lived.

But let's return to my Grandpa and Grandma Friedmann. I loved them very much, and above all I respected them. They treated me like their own daughter. I didn't get along very well with my mother, and so Grandma Hilda had me over at their place every summer vacation. I lived with my parents and siblings in Presov. At the beginning of the summer my grandma would come for me on a carriage, and take me to Stropkov, which was 50 kilometers away. I'd then spend the entire summer there with my grandparents.
