Biography[]
Elvira Weiszova was born in the village of Moravce, Krupina district, Austria-Hungary (present-day Slovakia) on 4 August 1915.
At first she attended Hungarian grammar school in Sahy, later she continued at the medical school in Revuca, where she studied to become a dental technician. She has a Jewish origin and she survived the war thanks to her marriage with Ľudovít Schwarz, who as a dentist had an exception and was labeled as “economically important Jew”. All the members of her family died during the holocaust. Yet during the war she and her husband left to Cierny Balog, where they lived and worked together for app. 20 years. After the return to Bratislava, Elvira’s husband died. She got employed here as a dental technician and married for the second time. She doesn’t have any children and that’s why she stayed alone after the death of her second husband.
Weiszova died in Ohel David senior house in Bratislava, Slovakia on 29 June 2021, at the age of 105 years, 329 days. Following her death, then-105-year-old Margita Bindasova became the oldest living person in Slovakia.
