Note: My father, Meynhert Klein, during the few times that he spoke to me about his life during the Holocaust, would describe the last time he saw his mom and sister Bella leaving on a train.

Remembrance

Eighteen years ago, the family went to Las Vegas to remember Margaret. And while there was sadness, there was also much joy in the family being together. It was just as my Aunt would have wanted: a show, a buffet, and some slots. I miss you, Aunt Margaret. All My Love, your nephew David

Margit Klein And Kalman Klein Visit Mount Of Olives - 1977
Note: In 1977, Margit Klein and Kalman Klein visited the cemetery at the Mount Of Olives. Eva Klein wrote that "[o]ur mother's parents were aging beautifully; they reached a nice old age and decided to go to Jerusalem to spend their remaining years . . . . During the first world war they passed away in Jerusalem. " So, it is likely that David Veisz and/or Chaja Stern is buried there.
