Wedding photo of Zivi and Isak Varsano

My youngest sister Zivi with her husband Isak Varsano. A wedding photo. The year is 1942. The picture was taken in the photo studio 'Artona' - Sofia. The yellow star can be clearly seen on Isak's lapel. Zivi was born in 1921. She was shy, meek, caring and a great housewife. She graduated from the Romanian school. It was situated behind the Central Synagogue. She was deeply in love with Isak. They went to live with his family a year before they got married. Isak was a very handsome and ambitious man. His family was poor and as a student he had to both study and work in order to provide for his family. Until the third grade he used to work as a shop assistant and a barber's assistant. But as ambitious as he was, he finished evening classes and later the Institute of Ecomomics with honor. Finally he became the director of the 'Stalin' technical school. Zivi worked for many years as a typist in OJB 'Shalom.' They have two children: a son, Sabitay and a daughter, Ruth. Isak died in 1981. In 1992 Zivi left for Israel and currently she lives with her daughter.
