From rural Hungary before the First World War, through the persecutions of the Nazi period and the deprivations under Communism, after escaping to the USA, the active old age of a pair of “survivors”. ::::::::::::: I MIEI GENITORI:
Dall’Ungheria rurale antecedente alla Prima Guerra Mondiale, lungo le persecuzioni del periodo Nazista e le privazioni sotto il Comunismo, dopo la fuga negli Stati Uniti e l’intensa vecchiaia di una coppia di “sopravvissuti”. ©2007 by MARIAN FARAGOMarian Faragohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638967271197385867noreply@blogger.comBlogger71100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4342430478905254223.post-87157365103229691982011-07-29T02:38:00.000-07:002011-07-29T09:35:18.158-07:00nuovo libro in italiano<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2EOvGBtspxg/TjJ_5RyEPzI/AAAAAAAAABk/P7-Mf0uECn0/s1600/tmpjXTPVs001.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

My father's oldest sister Molly immigrated to the USA in 1914 at age of 19 from Zeke, Hungary (new photo 1)<br />and formed a lovely family there. Along with my father's other siblings who had immigrated before World War II, Molly and her daughters Edith and Eileen (new photo 2) were wonderful to us<br />when we arrived in the US and after - they kept in touch with my Mom up till the end and thus helped her out in many ways.<br /><br />The other day I was very sorry to hear that Eileen has passed away, following so soon in her sister Edith's footsteps - lovely and successful women loved by their families and everyone else as well! Molly of course has been gone for many years (new photo 3), but her grand-daughter Shelley is interested in adding material for a more complete picture of our family history (and thus of the History with a capital "H" through which our relatives lived).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4342430478905254223-8809547002036497745?l=centuryoflove.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Faragohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638967271197385867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4342430478905254223.post-24071689641503483442007-04-07T08:42:00.000-07:002007-04-07T08:44:43.668-07:00UPDATESince publishing this family memoir, I've received some encouraging messages of appreciation and also some criticism, an extract of which I will soon add to this site. I wish to thank everyone who wrote me for their comments and must take this occasion to state that the memoir is, of course, based on my memories and what I remember my parents telling me, and therefore is not necessarily "true", though there was no intention of criticizing or offending anyone who is mentioned (or not). I also hope to be able to add additional stories soon...
