ОписаниеBirth certificate, in Hungarian, issued by the Rabbinate in Hungary and signed by the Chief Rabbi, for baby Jeno Moses Kohn, born 27 November 1866. The date of circumcision is given as 4 December. This document is from the Jewish Registry Birth Office in the small town of Derecske, Hungary, and is dated 17 February 1898. The document bears the official stamp of Debrecen, Hungary, and has a 5 Korona stamp as well. This certificate is part of a collection of objects and documents relating to Imre Kaldor, Jeno's son, and his wife Rose (nee Czeizler).
Imre Kaldor was born in Debrecen, Hungary in 1899 to Jeno Moses Kohn (later Kaldor) and Karolina (nee Lustig). Before the Second World War he was employed as a timber merchant and married to Rose (nee Czeizler). Imre and Rose had one daughter, Kathy.
After the Germans’ entry into Hungary in 1944, Imre, Rose and Kathy were expelled from their home and confined to a ghetto. They were eventually placed on cattle cars and sent to a forced labour camp in Florisdorf. In February 1945 in the wake of the Allied advance, they were sent along with 200 others on a death march from the camp. They managed to escape and hide out in a nearby village until the end of the war. They discovered later that the Florisdorf prisoners who continued on the march were executed in the forest.
The family returned to Budapest only to find that their house had been destroyed. Kathy married George Polgar and migrated to Australia in 1949. Rose and Imre followed accordingly in 1951. The family was very happy in Sydney, but Imre was ill and died in 1952. In the following years, Rose married Paul Visontay, who had migrated from Hungary to Australia with his son, Ivan. It was a great coincidence that Rose and Paul crossed paths in Sydney as the two had briefly dated in Hungary in the 1920s when Rose was 16 and Paul was 20.
