Ruzena Benovic

As told to me by Marko Brand:

Ruzena was able to delay the deportation to concentration camps of herself, husband Arpad, and Arpad's parents as well as Marko's family under President Tissot exceptions as "necessary Hews to the German war effort". After several months such exceptions were no longer issued for money to Ruzena by President Tissot Office and the authorities came to pick up all for deportation to concentration camps.

The Brands and the Benovics became aware of this and escaped into the mountains neighboring the Village of Kamenica N/Cir and Arpad, his parents and Ruzena went into hiding in disguise in Bratislava.
