Marika Krpez's cousin Ana Bohm

This picture was taken in Subotica in 1936. It shows my aunt Klara Bohm's younger daughter, Ana Bohm. They called her Anika. She was born in 1934 in Subotica. Her mother Klara was a milliner. She had a shop near the market in the Jewish section of Subotica. Ana's older sister was called Eva and she was very skinny and sick as a small child, in contrast to Ana, who, they told me, was an active and naughty child. Unfortunately, in 1944, she was taken together with her older sister Eva and her mother Klara to Auschwitz where they were killed. Her father Eugen Bohm was in the Mauthausen camp and he survived the war.
