My
mother was born in 1924, in this
house. After the families
expulsion in 1945 it was taken over
by Szekerly Hungarians for free. At
some stage it was taken over by my
mother's cousin, now deceased. It is
a little derelict but I hope to make
an effort to purchase this property.
Full circle so to speak.

This
woman informed me that her husband
and my father were both enlisted
into the Wehrmacht and posted to
Riga in Estonia during WW2. I didn't
know that, seeing as my father was
from Nagyganisza and I wasn't even
aware that he had even been to
Erdosmecske at any time in his life.
It seems that my fathers family
undertook forcibly or otherwise the
'Magyarisation' program.
