- Notes
- Agnes Kent (née Lörinczi) was born on January 16, 1928 in Budapest, Hungary. She describes her childhood up until the age of 15 as idyllic, spending summers with her grandparents. Her family was not religious and Agnes only went to synagogue with her grandparents. Though was aware of a war going on during the early years of the war, she, like everyone she knew, did not think it would come to Hungary or that they would be affected. She was unaware of the rise in anti-Semitism occurring throughout Europe or about any laws being put into place in Germany. Once the Nazi Party occupied Budapest things “sped up in a bad way.” She remembers the Hungarian Nazis as being much worse than the Germans. Yellow-star houses were assigned throughout Budapest, including the building she lived in, which became home to hundreds of Jews. They were in a lucky position because they still had a telephone, so people were constantly in and out of their home.
In October or November of 1944 Agnes had her first real awakening to the horrors of the war. A boy the Nazi party believed to be Jewish was caught in the streets, taken into the courtyard behind her house, his pants were pulled down and he was shot dead. She witnessed it. By the end of 1944, all the Jewish men between ages A and B were rounded up and marched to Austria. Her father and uncle got dysentery on the way and were shot dead in a gutter. This she learned later from a survivor of the death march. Other family members, including her aunt, had been taken to Auschwitz. Agnes and her mother were able to get a Wallenberg paper and they moved to a safe-house near the Danube. All of a sudden they were no longer safe there, but another of her uncles, who was in a work camp, had given her mother the name of a gentile family with whom they could hide. They went and lived there for a couple of weeks using a false identity. This was December 1944. Not too long after, at the end of January, they were liberated by the Russians. After the war they moved back to their apartment. Agnes married in 1949 and moved to Canada not long after.
