The 60s Wild-Child of Rochus Market

Translated by Jeff Crowder

My grandfather came from Prague to Vienna. He was the first party to live in this apartment, this house was newly built in 1912. Here he had 3 children with his wife, „Zerschen“ - „die sehr Schön“ - who was "very beautiful". The first two children were loved, and then there was uncle Toni, the smallest. When grandmother went through the apartment in the evening, to the children, she kissed the two boys, uncle Louis and my father, good night, and uncle Toni got a slap across the face. He was in bed in the children's room and instead of a kiss he got a slap. My grandmother was incredibly vain, she only wore designer clothes. She was always the center of attention, and then she died. Grampa was then alone.
