One of the great tragedies of wars is that families are often separated and unable to find one another. This happened to Anna and her brother, my father, Paul (Pal) Cseresnyes. After years of searching, on and off, for my Hungarian relatives I finally found my aunt Panni. Sadly I was two years too late. So unfortunately I have no memory to share of Panni. I have no stories to tell of any of my father's family. World War 2 separated him from his siblings and parents and he never saw them again. Canada became his new home.
