Ignac Brody worked as a lawyer and left for Great Britain. He was famous
for his musical talent; he played the violin very well. He worked in the
emergency health service as simple medical assistant.

Marcus or Marci Brody, my grandmother's brother, graduated in 1907 in
Budapest and became a well-known lawyer in Bratislava. He is the only one
in our family to be buried in a Catholic cemetery because he married a
Catholic woman. He never converted and they had no children. He was the
only one in our family to be buried in a Catholic cemetery, called St.
Martin's cemetery in Bratislava, next to the Manderla grave.

The family traveled quite a bit. In 1921, they were on a holiday on the
northern coast of Germany, and in August 1923, my grandfather and his
friends were photographed in Karlsbad [3].

My father Juraj Stern was born during the war, in 1940, in Bratislava. Two
years later his brother Andrej, or Bandy, was born in Humenne, where the
family was hiding. He died on 16th August 1945 of an infection. During the
greater part of the war the family was hidden in Hlohovec by a Christian
family.
