Gold
He

He spent the war, partly in Hungary, hiding to escape the nazis.
He was a young boy 22/24 y.o. and with the help of his friends,
he saved
an incredible
number of Jews, on their way to Auschwitz.
His parents,
brothers and sisters went to "work" and begged him
to go with them ;
but he
refused because his Rabbi, the holy rabbi of Belz,
told him
to hide and not to go to "work".

details are reported in war stories ("Dare to survive"

scent of snow flowers"). He truly behaved as a heroe,

He passed away before the Holocaust.

Some people may recognize some of the children :
there is one young girl who intrigues me - she resembles my sister and also her
little granddaughter.
She does not look like pictures of my father's sisters,
I don't know who she is, she is a beautiful young girl.

The Purjesz Family by Ilana Burgess
The Purjesz family is a classic example of the forced "wandering Jew".
They most probably originated somewhere in ancient Israel, exiled 2000+ years ago and had to move from one country to the other in search of a safe haven.
At some stage they made their home in Spain and during the inquisition moved into Central Europe.
My branch of the family settled in Hungary in the 18th century.
Most of the family was murdered during the Holocaust.
My mother survived and made her home in Israel where I was born.
Back to the original starting point - a full circle.
According to the family legend, they lived in Burgos Spain and were forced to leave in 1492.
Some managed to escape before or during the inquisition and settled in Italy.
Other members of the family converted to Christianity and managed to leave after 1492.
In Italy the anusim were able to be converted back to Judaism.
Some members of the family moved from Italy to Turkey, Bulgaria, Temeszvar Romania and then finally settled in Hungary.
The first record I have of a Purjesz in Hungary is Adam Purjesz.
I've found out recently that Adam Purjesz name was Adam Burjes and was changed to Purjesz in the late 1700's or early 1800's.
Adam Purjesz
According to the story, Adam Purjesz was still in possession of the Spanish family crest.
The family name was very important to them and so was their Spanish heritage.
My mother told me that her mother and grandmother followed many Sephardic traditions while living in an Ashkenazi community.
Over the two decades in Hungary the family became prominent and included many physicians, lawyers, bankers, business people, politician and officers in the Austro Hungarian army.
