The Story of "Istvan"
- by HistoryBites * -
When "Istvan" Reiner was 4 years old, he was placed in the Miskolc ghetto in Hungary. It didn't matter to the Nazis that his mother, Bela Reiner, converted to Protestantism and he was never circumcised, they were deemed to be Jews.
Eventually they were sent to Auschwitz concentration camp where his picture was taken for documentation. As soon as he arrived there, he was separated from his mother and ended up in the care of his grandmother.
Not long after that they were sent to the gas chamber and died.
Istvan's mother and brother survived the war and migrated to the United States in 1947.
