Stepanka Brok

Stepanka Brok

 

 

When Zdenek left for the U.S.A Stepanka brought up her two daughters on her own. She had a business that represented large foreign firms and facilitated their operations in Czechoslovakia . She was very beautiful and a very kind mother.    

Although the date of birth is out by 8 days from that on the passport- this is probably Stepanka as she was on the same transport as Frantisek, Klara and the boys
