In 1941
when the Hungarians came, my father, through some connections, succeeded in
enabling me to stay in school even though a recently enacted law only
allowed a small percent of Jews to continue going to school. In the school
there were teachers who came from Hungary, and in most cases they were anti-
Semites. They noticeably lowered the Jewish children's grades. Our friends
in our grade would make fun of us. The Catholic priest, Ciprus, treated the
Jewish children the best. During religion lessons, Jewish children were
forced to go outside regardless of the weather conditions. But Priest
Ciprus allowed us to remain in the classroom if it was cold outside.
