Pista and Maria Preisz in Venice

This is my uncle Pista Preisz, my father's youngest brother, and his wife Maria Preisz, nee Bmuthaner. The photo was taken in Venice in 1937. Uncle Pista's first wife Maria was a very elegant woman. They married in 1937. They had one daughter. The daughter and the mother were deported from Nagykata, where they lived, to Auschwitz. Pista was in forced labor and when he came home, he married again. His second wife was from Miske, but she had some connection to Nagykata. They had two children, Andras and Eva. After the war Pista first opened a shop with Laci [his brother Miklos? son], it was a big beautiful fashion and drapery shop. Later he worked in a food shop; he was the manager. After that, he set up a little knit-ware workshop. He died in 1977, but his wife is still alive.
