SOME BACKGROUND REFERENCES on the Budapest holocaust and the Hungary holocaust

Attila JOACHIM is referred to by his father the Hungarian (Magyar) artist painter Ferenc JOACHIM (1882-1964) who was interviewed in the Budapest, Hungary daily afternoon newspaper "Esti Kurir" on 15 March 1935 on page 9. The topic of the interview is how in the middle of the Great Depression the family has fallen into abject hopeless poverty and hunger with his wife Margit, and children Piroska, Ferenc G. and Attila and how the despair has driven his daughter Piroska to attempted suicide and who is now being treated at the Rókus Hospital. The newspaper article identifies the father Ferenc Joachim as a founding member of the Nemzeti Szalon, a contributor to the Nemzeti Muzeum, and a recognized artist in Paris, Rome and Berlin. Article from "Esti Kurir," 15 March 1935, page 9.
