Petrőczi Éva - Ida and Gyula - Dédszüleim history

A true love story from the 19th century, during the great flood in Szeged.

"The past is not behind us, under our feet, we have to explore the unknown islands, like the ancient travelers once did. The biography and double portrait of Éva Petrőczi's maternal great-grandparents, based on real documents, both novelistic and historically accurate, helps us to explore the past. from a rich and interesting book, we get a true story about how complete love and marital harmony was realized between a Jewish girl from Szeged and a Catholic young man from Arad county. I wish all readers of the novel a real immersion; this is also helped by the rich visual material. Prof. Dr. Szigeti Jenő, cultural historian, theologian."

This book is not only for the descendants of Ida and Gyula, but for everyone, including those living in a mixed marriage or even in a completely Jewish family. Éva Petrőczi talks about lives, destinies, old Szeged and Gyoma in an instructive and engaging way.
