The picture was taken in Prijedor in 1940. I am pictured with my school friends. I am in the middle. From left to right are: Andja Knezevic, next to her Esad Ceric, I am next to him, then Makivic Milan and next to him Vina Bastajic. I do not remember the names of the others. The picture was taken while my friends and I were walking around town and we ran into one of our acquaintances who had a camera with him. This picture reminds me of a tempestuous year of my schooling.
