Bonka Davico’s husband Jasa Davico with his aunt Rea Talvi and his brother Oskar Davico

This is my husband Jasa with his aunt Rea and his brother Oskar. The photo was taken in Belgrade in the garden of our family house in 1954, when aunt Rea came to visit us from Montreal.

My husband Jasha Davico comes from one of the oldest (Sephardi) families in Serbia. He had two brothers: Oskar and Mirko.

When my husband was 14 his mother died. My father-in-law Nisim was horribly miserable when his wife died. He was the poorest of all brothers and he didn't know what to do with the children.

My husband's mother Rachel had four sisters, Nuca, Saruca-Sarah, Rhea and Sophia. The aunts took the sons into her house. My husband lived with Luisa, who was Nisim's brother's wife.

Oscar lived with Aunt Rhea, and Mirko with Aunt Sarah. (Today) Oskar is one of the most celebrated Serbian poets. Mirko was a famous student and the organizer of student protests in the Faculty of Law.

He was killed in Jasenovac (1).

My husband was a journalist, he finished Law School. Later he became a legal consultant in a large factory in Pancevo. After the war he first worked for Kidric, the minister of economy and afterwards he switched to journalism.

Then he founded "Ekonomska Politika" which was one of the best newspapers on economy from which everybody borrowed data.

My husband was the manager and editor-in-chief.
