Teodor Pasternak and friends

This is a picture of my father Teodor Pasternak (first from right) and his friends at a swimming pool in Presov. It was taken in 1926. Unfortunately, none of them survived the Holocaust. The Jewish social life in Presov was quite rich. The Jewish youth used to meet at a place where a swimming pool was built later. They established a Jewish association called Fortuna. They organized trips, social events and religious ceremonies in Presov.
