Overview

Caption: A father and son, wearing a Jewish badge, in front of their machine shop in the Debrecen ghetto.

Pictured are Moritz and his son Endre Goldstein. Moritz and Matilde Goldstein had four sons, Alex (b. 1914), Ernst (b. 1918), Miklos (b. 1920), and Endre (b. 1928). Moritz died while serving in a Hungarian labor brigade. In April 1944, Matilde, Ernst and Endre were deported to Auschwitz, where the mother and her youngest son were gassed immediately. Ernst was imprisoned for a time in Auschwitz before being sent to a series of concentration camps in Germany. He survived the camps and eventually emigrated to the U.S. in 1946.
