Magdalena Berger's father-in-law, Sigmund Berger

My father-in-law Sigmund Berger. The signature on the photo is his. The exact date the picture was taken is unknown, but it is assumed that it was taken around 1900, and the place could be Zrenjanin, Serbia. My husband came from a rural Jewish family that was not at all religious. He had a drastically different upbringing than I did. For example, his father was inclined to drink a lot, and socialized with the local gypsies, things that my father never did.
