on the hearing of Popovic Milica, born Elvira Kolb, by a housewife from Belgrade, Sazonova Street no. 55, born on 11 November 1916 in the Golukbinci district of Stara Pazova, from father Adolf and mother Ilona, married, mother of one child, a sergeant of Srpska, not convicted, who gave the following answer to the questions asked.

Before my marriage to Nikola Popović, I was always in the Golubinci food shop in Belgrade. I came only as a girl, while I attended Second Female Gymnasium, where I finished two grades. After the school break, I dedicated myself to homework, and in 1931 I completed a typography course in Belgrade.

Before marrying, I was the faith of Moses, since my parents, my father and my mother were Jews. When I married Nikola Popovic, and in 1932, I went to Orthodoxy. After the occupation, I applied in Indjija as a Jew, and I felt that I did not need to apply in Belgrade since I had already applied in Indjija. I wore the tape as long as they carried the other Jewish women for Christian women, and when they removed the tape, I removed it myself.

I got an ID card in the name of Milica Popovic in the VII quarter. I thought that this card belonged to me, after I was baptized and at the baptism I got Milica's name, and my husband's last name was Popovic.

As far as politics is concerned, she has never been interested in me.

I watch my child and I have dedicated myself to all my family, husband and child. I have never, before, criticized the work of the Serbian government, and the pre-eminent work of the president of the same, nor did it matter to me, nor when I talked about it before.

It is not true that I had told before that the Prime Minister was at dinner with German personalities and asked that the 200 most eminent Serbs be shot at that occasion. It's an ordinary xxx fabrication that someone has invented for me, and I want that face, which destroys this, to face me and to say when I said it and before whomever I said.

That's all I would have to say about this.

The exam has been read to me and all the boundaries of the words in it have been written down.

I am literate,
