- Notes
- 1 page, folded once vertically. Document is a watercolour painting depicting a landscape. There is a tree in left foreground with branches in blue ink. There is writing in pencil in a child's handwriting at top of painting and on verso - possibly proper names, as well as numbers. Painting is likely by Ferenc Weinberger, as his name is printed in upper left corner of painting. It was probably Évike or her cousin Marika who scribbled over it in pencil. Narrative: Ferenc (Feri) Weinberger was the younger brother of Gusztáv Weinberger, the donor's father. In 1943, he was sent to the Bor copper mines, in Serbia, as a Jewish forced laborer. In the fall of 1944, the mines were evacuated in the face of the Red Army and Yugoslav partisans; Feri and thousands of others were deported to concentration camps in Germany. He was imprisoned in Flossenberg on November 9, 1944, and was transferred to Commando Hersbruck on December 3 of that same year. He died on December 26, cause of death unknown. Gusztáv returned from forced labor service at the end of the war to learn that 34 members of his extended family, including his wife Mancika and small daughter Évike, had been deported to Auschwitz. Only one cousin returned. He remarried Anikó Schwartz and they had two daughters, Elaine and Judith. This collection of correspondence was used as part of the research for the following book: Kalman Naves, Elaine. Journey to Vaja: Reconstructing the World of a Hungarian-Jewish Family. Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1996. Print.
