Korina Solomonova in the Jewish nursery

This is a photo of the Jewish nursery in Sliven. The photo was taken in front of the wall of the Jewish school in 1928. My husband Shemaya Geron is the first lying in the photo, I am the first from the left in the row and my sister Luisa Alhalel, nee Solomonova, is next to me. The photo is from a ballet that we performed in the nursery. We danced to the accompaniment of a violin.
