Mile Kalef in his army uniform

This is a picture of Mile Kalef when he was in the Royal Yugoslav Army. The photo was taken in Belgrade in 1937. Mile was my granduncle Jakov Kalef's son. They took away some of my relatives before they came to us and told us to leave: for instance, Mile and his brother David. We lived in number three and they lived in number five. David and Mile were picked up for these actions to clean the destruction from the bombing of Belgrade on 6th April. At one point they came home and then after that they never appeared again. I don't know what they talked about when they came home. We were already hidden. Mother told us that for some time they still came. David and Mile's mother, Lenka Kalef, poor woman, even went to the construction sites where they were cleaning and sometimes brought them some food to eat, until they took her away too.
