BeschrijvingAlbum containing approximately 243 photographs of the Hungarian-Jewish Sarkadi family. The photographs are post-World War II, documenting years of relative peace in Budapest c. 1945-1953.
Having lost many of their relatives to the Holocaust, the surviving Sarkadi family was at this point made up of Laszlo (b. 1907) and Ilona Sarkadi (nee Reisz, b. 1916), and their three children Joseph (b. 1934), Stephen (b. 1938) and Emily (b. 1947). Ilona's mother Margit Reisz (nee Herceg, b. 1889) also lived with the family.
This album contains family and individual portraits, as well as photographs relating to scouting, recreation, memorials to lost relatives, gravestons, visits to the family's home village of Kunszentmiklos, the family house and garden in Rozsadomb, Budapest, and the leather goods business Laszlo set up with a fellow survivor of the Jewish Labour Service.
The frequently pictured Bauhaus building in Rozsadomb in which the family lived during this period was eventually confiscated by the Communist government, and the family would migrate to Melbourne, Australia by 1958.
