PART 1: THE KALLOS FAMILY • 17
Left to right: Biri Kallos, her cousin Babi Tabak, and friend Moca Lebovitz in 1943 on the bank of the
Tisa River. Before the war, these three girls were part of a group of six girlfriends. Note the timber
scattered along the riverbank. The area had a thriving lumber industry. Timber cut upstream was
floated down the Tisa for further processing at saw mills and wood yards.
