Our family, like most families, is directly descended from Jews
exiled from Spain who came to Bitola, in Macedonia. But because of the
overpopulation and poverty they left Bitola to find a better life. This is
how most Jewish families came to Pristina, Yugoslavia.
Later, some Jews migrated north. Pristina was a small town and life was not
much better there than in Bitola, so some families moved to Kosovska
Mitrovica, because the Trepca Mines are there. These Jews believed that the
activity in the mines would give them a better chance to earn a living.
