When the late Rabbi Hugo Gryn was asked where he was from, he replied:
“I was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, educated in Czechoslovakia, started working in Hungary, did a stint in Nazi Germany, and then lived, worked and raised my fmaily in the Soviet Union.”
The interviewer was impressed and commented on how much he must have travelled in his life.
Hugo replied: “Not at all. I never left Berehovo”
Today Beregszász-Berehovo is in Ukraine.
