Magdalena Berger's father David Grossberger

Magdalena Berger's father David Grossberger

My father David Grossberger is pictured. The picture was taken in a park in Vrnjacka Banja around 1936.

He was a successful businessman, which allowed his family to live a comfortable but by no means extravagant life. I remember that my father never gave us pocket money and he urged us to play with his workers' children. My father kept a diary concerning his business activities so that we, his children, would know that he was an honest businessman. Despite his success he always maintained a sense of modesty and made sure we all did as well.
