Agi's Story
(extract from mom's memoirs) |
 |
"The way I saw it, I had competition for my
grandparents’ affection; my cousin Elvira. She was about the
same age as I and she had spent years living with Ferenc and Mali
while her [..] parents lived in Italy. Elvira’s
father, my Uncle Ernö, used to import dancing girls to Milan. I
guess he was an impresario. I remember watching these ladies
rehearse their tap-dancing in short red satin and black tulle
costumes. It was not exactly respectable but it was wickedly
glamorous to me. Uncle Ernö used to send us bananas in brown
envelopes from Italy. Although they arrived a bit squashy, they
were very aromatic. [...] Uncle Ernö died in the War and Elvira
emigrated to Israel but she never reconciled herself to her
father’s death. |

Erno was a different kind of person. He went away very
young. He was married when he was maybe 18 or 20 years old. We didn't know
the girl who he was going to be married to. I remember they sent a paper
to your grandfather to sign. But he doesn't. [Erno] signed my father's name on the marriage license.
[His daughter] Elivra stayed often with my
parents. She spent more time with them than Agi. She was sometimes
together with her parents, sometimes not together. [Erno] left Budapest. He brought girls from Italy to the hotels.
He was a good boy, but he ran away too young. In our time, a 20 year old
boy, if he's not married, he stays at his parent's place. That is a job not
for my parents. He [Ferenc?] didn't like it that he [Erno?] did that kind of
thing. He was different [than the other sons]. He was good
man. He didn't hurt anyone. But my father didn't like what he did.[5][6] |
Ernö managed dancing girls. Ernö went to Milan around 1935 with Rosza.
They left Elvira with their parents in Ujfeherto. Then Jutka went to
Milan afterwards to find a husband (she was a jew w/o dowery).
When the fascists kicked the Jews out of Italy around 38 or 39, Ernö returned to Hungary.
Ernö died in the Holocaust. A Hungarian
Children's Society moved Elvira to Israel in 1945.[2][3]
* STEINER Rozalia (b. 24 Oct 1911 in
Ipolyszakos or Szakallos; aka Mrs. Jakab Bela)[1] Roza
survived the war, remarried and died in Budapest around 1980[5]
