VISITING RESCUERS IN BUDAPEST
In July, several Alfred Lerner Fellows, Steven Field, M.D., JFR Board Member, and Stanlee Stahl, JFR Executive Vice President, had the opportunity to make several home visits to rescuers in Budapest, Hungary. In our August 2019 e-newsletter, we featured Aunt Katy, one of the rescuers we visited in Budapest. In this month’s e-newsletter, we are featuring sisters, Maria and Zsuzsa Farkas, whom we also visited in Budapest. While we were there, Dr. Field and Maria’s husband, a retired physician, even discussed some medical cases.
