The publication of this book is intended to serve two objectives:
|
Thanks to Sándor Révai (Canada) for his helpful cooperation and contributions of documents and pictures.
Also thanks to her mother - Révai Lászlóné, née Ella Kircz for her valuable and accurate recollections of her childhood and early youth relating to Cigánd and subsequent memories of her sadly tormented ordeals. I would like to thank teacher Tamás Oláh for his selfless assistance. Contemporary pictures taken by András Némethy. Archive photos from the collections of László Révai and other Cigánd descendents. |
Man, watch out, observe your world, that was the past, this is the wild present, - carry it in your heart. Live in this bad world and always know what to do for it, so it shall be different. |
Miklós Radnóti: He could take it no more... |
For all those, who, without regard to race, religion or political persuasion, are capable of watching out for their fellow man without prejudice, and able to assume that all are intent to cleanse and make the world a better place. |
Miklós Veres, writer and Highschool teacher |
