Mazal Asael's uncle Marko Beniamin and his wife Vinucha in Israel

This is my uncle Marko and his wife Vinucha in the 1960s in Israel. He was a retailer and the photo was taken in their shop. My uncle Marko was compelled to leave for Israel as he couldn't get Bulgarian citizenship and he was chased out as a Serbian citizen in 1940. He left for Israel then, before the foundation of the country. Earlier he had worked as a barber.
