Extra info:Eve's Dad was living in Panama. When he learned of the dangers to Jews in all of Europe, he sent tickets to his mother and his two unmarried sisters in Hungary to get them out as quick as possible.
However, his sister, Gizze, was engaged to be married to an Aryan and refused to leave him behind. Frank's mother, Mary, wouldn't leave without her two daughters saying, "You can't transplant an old tree." So Frank's brother, Eugene, who was married to a non-Jew, also, realized better than the others how dangerous it was for Jews, even married to Aryans,decided to use the tickets. With the tickets, he and his faimily escaped to Panama.
A couple of years later, in 1944, when the Nazi's entered Hungary, Eve's aunt, Gizze, was married and had a baby with her Aryan husband. When the Nazis rounded up the Jews to take them to extermination camps, Gizze and her baby ,as well as her younger sister, Shari and their mother were taken. As they marched under the guard of Nazi guns, the baby started crying. A soldier screamed at them and then shot Gizze and the baby in front of her mother and sister, who were later gassed in a gas chamber.
