Fragmenti porodičnog albuma porodice Molnar: pisma iz transporta

Abstract

"Porodični album fotografija i dokumenata je pokušaj da se ispriča priča koja se svojom nedovršenošću vije oko svih nas iz porodice. Gabriela (Ela) i Samuel Molnar i njihova kćerka Lili, ubijeni su u Holokaustu. Sin Nikola(Micu) i kćerke Klara i Suzana su preživeli. To su istorijski podaci. Život je, međutim, mnogo više.

Akteri ove priče su Gabriela (Ela) Molnar, rođena Vamošer i Samuilo (Šamuel) Molnar, po rođenju Rihtman..."

Gabriela (Ela) and Samuel Molnar and their daughter Lili, were killed in the Holocaust. Son Nicholas (Micu) and daughters Clara and Susan are survived. It's historical data. Life, however, is so much more. Violently interrupted or violently and unnaturally resumed, life is expensive all those days when one was not there, and it should have been, and when someone else lived with that void that remained. That is how I would describe the context of the story I am telling. Much of that story is an oral tradition, which I received from my grandmother, Suzana. Much that could not be verified. The actors in this story are Gabriela (Ela) Molnar, born Vamošer and Samuilo (Šamuel) Molnar, born Rihtman..."
