Biography Katarina Adanja was born on December 17, 1921, in Subotica in a Sephardic Jewish family, daughter to Aladar and Olga Baruch. Aladar Baruch was the owner before the Second World War, and after the war an advisor in an export-import company that sold poultry in England, Germany, and Switzerland. Olga Baruch worked in the family business as an auditor and bookkeeper. After finishing primary school, Katarina studied at lyceums in Vienna and Switzerland. In Belgrade, Katarina met her future husband, Solomon Adanja, who would become a renowned Yugoslav urologist and surgeon in the Yugoslav People's Army. Solomon, by then working as a visiting physician, came to Katarina's family, which had arrived from Budapest to visit her sick aunt and relatives in the then Danube Banovina. During World War II, she hid with her husband and was captured and retained in a camp in Budapest for a time. Katarina's father survived the horrors of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and her mother and sister Vera were killed in Auschwitz. Together, they had three children: Mira Adanja-Polak, a journalist and TV host, Đorđe Adanja, a urologist and surgeon, and Gordana Adanja-Grujić, a biochemist expert in gastroenterology.
