you are invited to a Gann Academy exhibit celebrating the history of Czechoslovakian Jewry.

This is Rudolf Stern and Elsa Sternova, my mother’s parents. I am between them and I was about two. My grandfather was born in 1874, and died in Treblinka in 1942. My grandmother was born in 1884, and also died in Treblinka. They lived together in Kamberk, where they had a large farm estate. Twelve families lived there and worked for my grandparents in the fields and gardens, basically whatever was needed. They had horses, cows, poultry, everything.
