Mazal Asael's husband Mois Asael in the Jewish school

Mazal Asael's husband Mois Asael in the Jewish school

This is a photo of my husband Mois Asael in the Jewish school in Dupnitsa. My husband is third from right in the first row and he holds a board - the inscription on it has faded but I remember that on it was written which class and in which year they were. The picture was taken in the early 1930s.

My husband Mois Shemaia Asael was born in the town of Dupnitsa. He is an optician. He graduated from the Optics Institute of the Ministry of Health in Sofia and he has worked as an optician for more than 40 years. His family didn't go to Israel but bought a house on Sofronii Vrachanski Street where I lived with him for almost twenty years, until 1970. After that we moved to the Mladost Quarter, a suburban neighborhood in Sofia, and we still live there.
