Joseph Vidich's family in Kropa



When Joseph Vidich left Kropa he left his entire family behind. This is an agonizing decision for most, and it must surely have been difficult on Joseph since he never saw his mother again. Despite their separation, they stayed in touch by mail. This photo was one of the legacies of this long separation. Found in the collection of photos from Joseph's son Arthur, it contained a description of the individuals on the back side as follows. From left to right are Florjan's wife (her name is not known); Lucija's daughter Morija (Florijan's and Joseph's sister); Lucija Vidic (Joseph Vidich's mother); Polde (Florjan's son); and Florjan (Lucija's son and Joseph's brother). While the photograph is undated it believed to be taken some time in the 1930s.
