Laszlo Morathy, a 25-year-old Universlty student, and
his wife Erzsebet, escaped across the frontier near Ober- bildle in Burgenland, Austria's most eastern proviner. from Hungary, but as they were erosain the frontier. Lanzło trod on a mine and his fool was torn to splinters. Morathy was injured by mine splinters. The district's Soviet Komandafura-much to the surprise of everybody-showed mercy and permitted the couple to be transported to Graz (Styria) in the British Zone for treatment after it was al- nounced that the man would probably not survive his in- Juries unless properly treated. Laszlo Morathy was staying in Austria previously and only went back to Hungary to get his wife across the border when the disaster happened. In this ploture Erzsebet Morathy is seen with her husband at the hospital in Gras soon after their arrival.
