| My Grandparents (my mother's parents) at their wedding in 1927. They had one child: my mother. I grew up in the same house with them until I was 14, and kept in touch until the 1980's, when they passed away.

Grandfather in 1940. He was a watch maker and had his own jewelry and watch shop in central Bucharest (Piata Sf. Vineri) where he worked as an independent, even under the communist regime until the 1977 earthquake, when his shop had to be demolished. He learned his trade in Germany, and spoke Hungarian, German, and learned Romanian after the first World War when he moved from Transylvania to Bucharest.
