Researching: LANG, SCHLESINGER, SCEINFELD, DAVIDOVICS, GROSSMAN
My father was born Karoly Lang in Studena, Slovakia in 1929 to Lazslo Lang and Anna Schlesinger. He had one brother Imre who was 3 years older. Laszlo owned a general store in Vecseklo, Slovakia. The family, being Jewish, moved to Jardanhaza, Hungary after the Nazis invaded Slovakia. Laszlo was drafted into the Hungarian army in the early 1940's as a labor serviceman and was killed mine-sweeping on the Russian front. Anna, Imre and Karoly (my father) were sent to Auschwitz. It is believed that Anna and Imre perished there. Lazslo had many siblings of which I only know of a few - Martin LANG and Gisella Lang immigrated to the USA; a sister who married a man with the last name Sceinfeld. Anna Schlesinger had 9 siblings of which I only know of a few -- Ilonka, Helen who was married and lived in Jardanhaza, Hungary; Margot who married Farenc Davidovics and moved to Israel with their two daughters; Jolan who married ? Grossman and also moved to Israel; Jenno who served in the Slovakian or Hungarian army. I am looking for anyone who knew of or may be related to this family.

My mother was one of the five who survived. My paternal grandfather, John Lukach (Lukatch), came from the village of Shandala in 1886.He settled in Duryea, Pennsylvania and worked all of his life as a coal miner.
