Mihail Mihaylov with villagers of Dabnitsa

This is a photo of my father Mihail Mihaylov when he was interned to the village of Dabnitsa near Nevrokop. The photo was taken in 1940, two months after he was interned. He is standing in the center of the photo together with some girls from the village. Every day he had to sign a book in the municipality to prove that he hadn't escaped.
