Magdalena Berger and her brother Andrija Grossberger with their governess

My brother Andrija Grossberger, me and our governess Gerta Stopar. The photo was taken on our family property near Sombor in the summer of 1932.

One female servant and a cook lived and worked in our house. These women were foreigners and non-Jews. The servants were a normal practice at the time and not a sign of luxury. In our family's case they were especially necessary because my mother, Klara, was often sick and my stepmother did not know how to cook.
