Alexandar Boczani with labor brigade

This is my mother's brother Alexandar Boczani, standing third from left. These are all Jewish men from our town who were conscripted into a labor brigade.

Alexandar was one of the six siblings of my mother Gisela Boczani, who was born in 1902 in Zdana, western Slovakia. She was murdered in a concentration camp in Poland in 1944 [concentraton camp in Poland refers to the Nazi concentration camps in German-occupied Poland]. Actually, all of my mother's brothers and sisters perished in the Holocaust.

My uncle Alexandar was taken to a Hungarian labor brigade and didn't survive the Holocaust. This photo shows him with the people from his labor brigade.
