Jelena Nikasinovic, Sofija’s sister with her children

Report an issue

Photo of my sister, Jelena Sarina, with her children, Djordje and Sofija. Taken in Belgrade (1930).

My sister Jelena Sarina finished gymnasium, married Jug Nikasinovic in 1922 or 1923, and became a housewife. Her husband was head of the Tax Board in Smederevo and it was there that they had a son, Djordje. After his birth, they moved immediately to Belgrade, where they stayed and had a girl: Sofija, Sonja. They moved to Zemun where he was also head of the Tax Board. They hid there. The NDH [Independent State of Croatia] was in control there, so it was somewhat more secure than where we were since we were under German control.
