Andrija, Rozalija, Ana pl. Gebauer, my šukundjed, šukunbaka and great-grandmother from the I Gebauer family

my grandmother, whom I called oma since I was a child, was the owner of an apartment in a house that was a family home before the war and which was bought by her father Vlatko Stožir. The Stožir family lived there, and Zdenka had two sisters, Nada and Božena. During the war, Bozena married Karl and moved to Vienna, then to Santiago, Chile, and Nada to Dr. Bazala. When I was born, another family lived in our apartment next to my mother's, but soon they moved out, so my mother Silva, my father Zdenko and I lived in one half of the apartment, and my mother Zdenko lived in the other.
Below are some photos from the Stožir family, whose most famous member was my grandmother's grandfather Professor Ivan Stožir, who also owns a street in Zagreb.

Omica Zdenka knew how to sew. She had a good old Singerica and I'm really sorry that we got rid of her... She didn't sew dresses like her niece Madelena, who also had a famous salon in Tesla Street, but sewed bags. What are small bags - they are in fact nesesses and they had the same function but in a larger number of colors and designs. I remember that there were so many of these bags that the bag needed help, and even I carried them several times to NAMU where they were sold. She used to buy materials mostly in Trieste and used to travel often to Opatija and then to Italy to buy materials. I'm sorry that I don't have one of her souvenir bags...
