Ms. Matilda Bracun of Ljubljana, Slovenia sadly passed away on 11 March aged 110. She was the second-oldest living person in Slovenia behind Julijana Zakrajsek.

She was born in Ljubljana, Austria-Hungary (now Slovenia) on 24 September 1913.

Rest in Peace Ms. Bracun.

I wonder if she has any memories of Austria-Hungary. Theoretically possible, I guess, since Austria-Hungary collapsed in November 1918, when she was two years and around three months old. Maybe 50% odds or a bit less?
