I was born in Hungary in 1914, losing my mother before I was three and my father during World War I. I escaped Nazi persecution in 1939 when the chief of the passport office recognized me and secured my passport the same day, allowing me to reach London. I worked as a farmer near Oxford and served as an X-ray technician in the British Army in India. All of my immediate family in Czechoslovakia perished except for my sister and cousin. After the war, I immigrated to America, eventually becoming a real estate broker in Santa Barbara. Come to Portraits of Survival to learn more.
