Their parents and the remaining four siblings were to follow them shortly afterwards. A farmer illegally smuggled the brothers over the Hungarian border on 7 May 1942, where they were received by a Jewish farmer lady. She brought them to her relatives in Budapest. There, they soon discovered that the rest of their family had been deported to Auschwitz concentration camp.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text]Budapest marked the start of living in illegality for the brothers.

We only had jackets and the first row comes forward, drops their trousers, for instance. And it continues like that.
