I was born on 25th May 1922 in Kosice. Here in Kosice there was a large
percentage of rich city Jews and they invested in the Neolog school and
synagogue. We, children, had snacks and milk every morning, which was
considered a luxury back then.
We lived in a three-bedroom apartment. My social circle was completely
Jewish and as a girl growing up, I belonged to different groups, like the
Maccabi [3], which even had a center where we could meet. Or, if there was
no organized group, like, say, for ice skating, my Jewish friends and I
would go together.
