Biographical

The Demjanovich family’s home in Austria-Hungary

Before the Demjanovich family moved to NYC in May 1884 – and soon after to Bayonne, New Jersey USA, they lived in Barjedov (which, in her official biography is mentioned in the town’s German name “Bartfelt,” and is misspelled also in the book as “Baridov”,) a town in what was at the time Austria-Hungary, now Slovakia. That town is located in northeastern Slovakia, near the border with Poland.

The yellow marking is the location of the Demjanovich family’s original European home.

I learned today that this town is a UNESCO Heritage site, and there is a whole page about it on the UNESCO website.
