Magdalena Berger's mother-in-law, Margita Berger with friends

This is my husband's mother Margita Berger. The other women are Margita's friends but I don't know their names. The picture was taken on the family property in the village of Torda in Banat, Serbia in the summer of 1920.

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.
