About Margit Yentl Motiu

In the late 1920's, Margit was working as an assistant for a Romanian, non-Jewish lawyer who was called Iuliu Octavian Motiu. She became pregnant and they married. In 1930, their son Adrian Ovidiu Motiu was born. During the war, Margit fled with her household from Cluj to Turda, where they survived in hiding. Margit's sister and her parents never fled from Cluj, and were deported from the Cluj ghetto to Auschwitz in May-June 1944. Her parents were gassed upon arrival, whereas her sister Irene surived the camps.

Margit returned to Cluj after the war. Until her death she visited the Neolog synagogue of Cluj.
