Tag #123599 - Interview #98839 (Aron Nissim Alkalai)

My father was a cashier in the Jewish bank 'Bratstvo' in the years around World War II. It was a local bank governed by the Jewish municipality in Dupnitsa. In 1941 under the Law for Protection of the Nation [4] the bank was closed and my father was left unemployed. I was in the labor camps [5] then, but when I was at home I tried to do some work to help them – as a cobbler or in the tobacco warehouses.
