Jozefina Sandorova

This is a photo of my paternal grandmother, Jozefina Sandorova, née Weiserova. The photograph is from the 1930s. My grandmother from Mikulas had a dairy, and the ones from Ruzomberok, they had some sort of soda pop factory and store. I'd say that they lived in a middle-class fashion. I don't think that my grandparents were very religious. In my eyes, my grandmother that was in hiding with us was good and nice. After the war, she lived in Liptovsky Mikulas. We moved to Ruzomberok, so I used to go stay with her during summer vacation. She dressed normally, they way they did back then. I don't think she wore anything traditional, no headscarf or wig. I'd say that she was ?grandmotherly.?
