Roman Grigorov is giving oath as a soldier

Report an issue


This is my dear grandson Roman Grigorov, my daughter Sonia's son, who is swearing an oath as a soldier. This picture was taken in Sofia in 1988.

My daughter Sonia's son, Roman, graduated from a commercial and industrial management college and has already a degree as an engineer. He works for a company and they are very satisfied with him. His son, Ben, was born in 2004. Roman lives together with his family in Ramat Gan and his name is no longer Roman, but Aron. He changed his name in Israel, because when he was born in Bulgaria, children from mixed marriages were not allowed to have foreign names. He was registered as a Bulgarian citizen.
