Marijana Leon, udata Eberle, rođena je u Berlinu 24. aprila 1913. godine. Njen otac, Emil Leon bio je lekar, a mati Olga, rođena Leon.

Kada je u Prvom svetskom ratu otac poginuo u Mostaru, Marijana je imala 5. godina i sa majkom Olgom  i sestrom Ružom se preselila u Zemun kod Hermine, Emilove sestre.

Marijana se pre Drugog svetskog rata udala za Eberle Kristofa, domaćeg Nemca. Iz tog braka se rodio 1940. sin Rihard.

Marijana je bila zaposlena u fabrici čokolade “La sigogne”, današnja “Soko – Štark”. Čim je izbio rat dobila je otkaz kao Jevrejka.

Do 1942. stanovala je sa mužem i sinom  na Karađorđevom Trgu, a onda je Kristof odlučio da se presele u Prešernovu ulicu na Franctalu, tj. u deo Zemuna gde su živeli skoro isključivo domaći Nemci i gde nisu znali da je Marijana Jevrejka. On nije dao da se Marijana prijavi policiji, a ona nije više odlazila u centar grada.

Kristof je kao časovničar i zlatar imao radnju u centru Zemuna, a shodno tome i osigurane prihode.Tako je bio u stanju da svakodnevno donosi hranu Hermini i Ruži. One su stanovale u Primorskoj ulici i nisu htele da se presele na Francstal. Jednog dana Kristof je našao prazan stan. Stvari su bile raznete, a Hermina i Ruža su bile oterane u logor Stara Gradiška, gde su i stradale.

Marijana je umrla 8. novembra 2004. godine u Zemunu. Njen sin Rihard i ćerka Erna su aktivno angažovani u radu Jevrejske opštine u Zemunu.

Mariana Leon, married name Eberle, was born in Berlin on April 24, 1913. Her father was Emil Leon a physician and her mother was Olga, nee Leon. When her father was killed in Mostar in the First World War, Mariana was 5 years old and with her mother and sister Rosa moved to Zemun to live with Hermina, Emil’s sister. Mariana married Eberle Kristof a naturalized German before the Second World War. In 1940 their son Richard was born.

Mariana was employed in the chocolate factory “La sigogne”, today’s “Soko-Stark”. Immediately at the start of the war she was fired as a Jewess. Up to 1942 she lived with her husband and son in Karadjordje square, but Kristof decided to move the family to Presernova street in the Franzstal, i.e. into the part of Zemun, mostly inhabited by naturalized Germans and where the fact that Mariana was a Jewess was unknown. He would not allow Mariana to register with the police, and she eventually stopped going to the town center. Kristof was a watchmaker and jeweler and had a shop in the center of Zemun and therefore a secure means of living. He was able to bring food to Hermina and Rosa daily. They lived in Primoska street and would not move to Franzstal. One day Kristof  came to the flat to find it empty. The furniture was scattered around, and Hermina and Rosa taken to the concentration camp in Stara Gradiska where both of them died.

Mariana died on November 8, 2004 in Zemun. Her son Richard and daughter Erna is actively engaged in the work of the Zemun Jewish Community.
