Tinka Kohen and Leah Kohen-Ausburger

Here I am pictured on 5th January 1999 with my daughter Leah Kohen-Ausburger, in Switzerland when she was the Bulgarian ambassador there. The occasion for my visit were the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Leah is a music critic, former Bulgarian ambassador to NATO in Brussels, Belgium and Luxemburg, then ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Leah's work as an ambassador in Switzerland, apart from the traditional diplomatic duties, also included presenting Bulgarian culture. She organized a series of visits of Bulgarian writers, musicians and artists to Switzerland and also a visit of Swiss artists to Bulgaria.
