Here I am pictured with my class from the commercial academy in Bitola. Sitting next to me on the right is Dzamila Kolonomos. We went to the same school together in Bitola and now she lives a few doors down from me in Skopje. The photo was taken in the 1930s.
We had a very good Jewish professor at the commercial academy, Arpad Lebl. He was Hungarian. That might be him in this picture. During the occupation he was interned somewhere and then he returned. After the war he came to visit us a few times in Bitola or Skopje. I think he lived in Belgrade after the war.
