Matilda Israel's family in Bankya

This is a photo of me (first from left), my brother Jacques (second from right) and his fiancée Ines (first from right), my mother's sister Sophie and her husband Buko (in the center of the first row). The other people are Liza, the wife of my brother Sabetay and some distant relatives. The photo was taken in Bankya around 1933. During the holidays we often went to Bankya with Liza, the wife of my brother. She went there to have her sick heart treated. I mostly loved the weekends when we went to Bourgas, on the Black Sea coast. We caught the train which passed through Karnobat at 6am and in an hour we were in Bourgas. It is a very nice town and we used to go sunbathing there. We spent the whole day there and we returned with the last train.
