Biography

Born as Géza Vetró. His father Géza Vetró senior, an ethnic Hungarian from Transylvania (part of Romania) escaped from the Romanian military draft to Budapest, Hungary where he met and married Bereményi's mother, Éva Mária Bereményi, who was 16 at the time. They soon fled to Vienna after Geza Vetro received the Hungarian Military's call-up as well. They returned to Budapest a year later in January 1946, shortly after the end of World War II, right before Bereményi's birth. Until the age of six Bereményi was raised by his maternal grandparents Sándor and Róza Bereményi, who owned and operated a stall at Teleki Market in the 8th district of Budapest.^[3]
