Results of fascism

Again a high-educated, peaceful inhabitant of Monor has been declared a dead man by the justice of court of Monor district. He was Izidor Révész, teacher of civil school who was carried with his family in a wagon to Auschwitz in summer of 1944. First he was classified as a „work-able man” in Auschwitz but because of lack of food and his spirit sufferings he wasn’t able to return home. Beside Izidor Révész also his wife Margit Kugel, his son György Révész and his daughter Judit Révész have been declared dead people.
A peaceful, innocent 5 member family left for Auschwitz and only one daughter Márta Révész could come back to their destroyed, empty flat.
