Anton’s parents were Rudolf and Rosalia Rosenberg. His father was a cantor and slaughterer. Tuli was the youngest of fifteen children. On 15.3.1939 his hometown was annexed to Hungary. At the time Tuli was living in Prague and from there he returned to his family. In 1942 Anton received his mobilization orders to a forced labor unit but managed to avoid being enlisted. In 1943 he was forced to enlist and at the beginning of 1944 he arrived in Budapest. After the Germans invaded Hungary on 19.3.1944, Anton escaped and, with help from his sister, Piri, who was also living in Budapest, he joined the underground activities within the framework of “Hashomer Hatzair”. At the beginning of April 1944 Anton traveled to Nagyszóllós in order to give the Jews forged documents and take them out of the ghetto but he did not succeed. At the beginning of June while he was staying with his family in Nagyszølløs, prior to the last deportation to the death camps, Anton and three friends decided to hide in a wine cellar behind a wall that was especially built to hide them. When they came out, after hiding for a couple of weeks, they were caught and imprisoned. They were transferred to different prisons until they arrived in Budapest. Anton’s three friends were released but he was sent to a penalty camp. With help from the movement he managed to get free. At the end of October 1944 Anton made contact with Joseph-Jóska Meir and took part in operations carried out together with the communist underground, especially the “Demény Group”. In 1945, after the liberation, Anton arrived in France and in 1953 he emigrated to the USA. He lived in Los Angeles.
