Maximilian and Vilhelm Klein

Maximilian and Vilhelm Klein

In this photo you can see my father Maximilian Majer and my husband Wilhelm, behind in the center. My father was militarized in 1938 and was in the Hungarian labor brigades, because this was at the time of the Munich crises. Of course, after Munich, he was demobilized and he came home. They took him into the Hungarian army in a labor brigade in 1938. We know that he was taken by the Hungarian army in to the eastern front. He survived this and then he was taken to a concentration camp in Hungary and we were told he died of typhus. After the Holocaust Adolf Klein, a cousin of mine, came to find me, and then I also met my friend Erzi?a sister of a friend?we lived together in Pavelovo. While we were there, Adolf's brother Vilhelm came to me and said, ?I have been going around and looking over the girls and I think you?re the best one.? I said to him, ?but we?re related.? I was thinking that second cousins once removed couldn't marry or have children. But Vilhelm laughed and said no.
