My Story

The world changed for the better with the birth of Katalin Bruck Vermes, my idol, my greatest love, my treasured gem, my inspiration, my guiding light, my greatest gift of all, my best friend, my sacred MOTHER.
My precious mother is the very essence of motherhood, it is with her exceptional heart and selflessness that the words generous and sacrifice were created. My courageous, determined, brave, heroic Mother survived the Holocaust, she did not survive doctors' misdiagnosis!

My holy Mother sacrificed throughout her life so that her cherished family would never be without. Her very core was always her family, her treasured parents, beloved husband, her only aunt, her only cousin, her mother and father-in-law, her sister-in law and me. Most of our family perished in the Holocaust leaving us 10 strong. My extraordinary mother's heart revolved around her family and giving her loved ones of herself endlessly.

The city lit up with my precious Mother's smile, my heart skipped several beats with each one. She was always smiling, her sorrow at losing her many relatives and her own labors in concentration camps her private hell. My incomparable Mother always did for others, was a volunteer in drop-in centers, the Holocaust Museum and a member of several charities.

My unique Mother adored music, which played constantly and which to this day is constantly played since I am convinced that I was born with the music "gene." How else to explain my insatiable thirst for song? My fantastic Mother was interested in everything and game to do it all. She and my sacred Father travelled far and wide, she was the swimming champion of Hungary, my beloved Mother read voraciously and was as
talented in the garden as in the kitchen. Art in all dimensions she relished in as she did attending opera.There was nothing she put her mind to that she didn't excel at, although she would never take credit for her many talents and never acknowledge that she held numerous talents.

I could write for a hundred years about my greatest love and still have many words left unwritten, my darling's compassion, sensitivity, honesty, goodness and kindness, exceptional physical attractiveness, intellect,
sense of humor, and love of animals are unparalleled.

KATALIN BRUCK VERMES' legacy is unlimited and still being written. She is my sunshine, my light, and now darkness has descended to take up permanent residence. I can't wait until we are reunited, together at last.
Together with my incedible Mother, heroic and adored Father, my only auntie and four grandparents.

I miss you so, no one will ever know how much I love you so. The last time we were together was on Mother's Day and as Mother's Day falls in a few hours, I am aching for you, you, my greatest love of all.
