Endre Markus

This is a picture of my husband Endre Markus when he was a child. He was around four here. The photo was taken in Aknasugatag in 1905.

My husband was born in 1901 in Maragyalufalva, which included Aknasugatag. His father was called Moricz, and was a doctor. He was 32 when my husband was born. Moreover, his father, i.e. my husband's grandfather, was a doctor, too, he lived somewhere in Transdanubia, but I don't know where. My husband's mother, Sarolta Geiger, Sari, was 24 when she gave birth to my husband. She was originally from Budapest, and was the descendant of a Transdanubian rabbi called Sam Seufeld. But they lived in Aknasugatag, because my husband's father got a job there as local practitioner, and later they moved to Maramarossziget, and were deported. My husband had a little sister called Baba, but her real name was Elisabeth. She got married in Poland. I don't know where this man saw Baba and fell for her. I think they lived in Warsaw. They had a daughter, Katherina, Kati, who was born there, and they all perished in Poland during the Holocaust.

My husband became a doctor, a urologist. He finished medical school in Vienna and lived there for a year as doctor, but then he came home and settled in Maramarossziget.
