Anna Danon in the laboratory of biology of the Medical Institute

This is an exercise in biology in professor Burderov's class. The lamps on the table are for the microscope - when there wasn?t enough light we turned them on. Now they probably have a central light already. The photo was taken in Sofia in 1951. I began studying medicine in 1948 and I graduated in 1953. First I worked in Krainitsi village. I wasn't married at that time. My husband was a soldier, as they took him after he had graduated law. For three-four years I worked in Pernik and after that in Sofia. I was a doctor until my retirement. During the last three years I worked at the Ministry of Health. I was responsible for the instruction of college medical specialists.
