Matilda Cerge at a wedding

This is a photograph from Moric and Valerija Kalef's wedding. I don't know her maiden name. On the left is Rasela Kalef, Moric's sister, and on the right is Valerija's sister, whose name I don't remember. And my sister Breda and I are in the front. I think the wedding was in Zrenjanin. Varlerija was from there.

Moric was the son of my grandmother's brother who died young. I don't remember his name. This brother was married to a blind woman named Djoja. They had two daughters, Netika and Rashela.

They got married right before the war, maybe in 1939.
