Magda Frkalova as a student at a Protestant school in Nitra

I as a student of a Protestant school in Nitra. The photograph was most likely taken sometime between 1935 and 1937. After my first three years at Slovak people's school in Zlatna na Ostrove, we moved with our parents to Dolne Krskany. Our father had bought his own farm there, and farmed on it. But the soil there wasn't too fertile, and so after some three years we moved away from Krskany. But before I go on, I'll mention one incident that's remained in my memory all these years. My brother didn't attend school in Parovce, like most of the local Jewish children. We attended school in Nitra. A Protestant school. And once on the way there, it happened that children started yelling at us: ?Jew! Smelly Jew!? It truly didn't sit well with us, and I can't forget it to this day.
