She met her future husband when she was very young.
My father was already a student, and there was a 15 year age difference
between them. After primary school and four years of secondary school, she
was sent by her parents to a boarding school in Vienna for future
housewives, with the hope that this would distance her from Matija. But
this did not prevent the sweethearts from seeing one another. Whenever

himself as her uncle. Their love was culminated by their marriage in 1926
in the Subotica synagogue.
