This is a photo of Mois and Nevena Yulzari's family together with relatives. The photo was taken in 2000 in Ruse.
From right to left: my daughter Buena, I and my sister Matilda Sinto Melnik, nee Beniesh) at the grandson's wedding day. We are in the block of apartments, where my grandson Mois lives. The man on the utmost right next to us is there by chance.
My sister’s fate is interesting. She carried through her plan of studying medicine in Bulgaria, although my parents were against it because, as I mentioned before, their views on a woman’s place in society and in family were rather conservative.
Mati managed to complete her medical education in Bulgaria, and in 1949 she immigrated to Israel. She continued studying medicine there for three more years, after that she graduated as a doctor, served in the army, and then she immigrated to the USA where she lives with her family down to the present day. Now she is a widow but has an own psychiatric cabinet in Houston and is satisfied. From time to time Mati sends me some money, which helps us make both ends meet in Ruse.
All of my grandchildren are, as people say, 'pure-blooded' Jews. Two of my grandchildren, however, already have mixed marriages. They are my son's children: Stela Dimitrova and Mois Yulzari. Stela married Nikolay Dimitrov, who is from Yambol in 2003. Now they live and work in Varna and they are expecting a baby. Mois married Nevena in 2000. Now they live and work in Ruse and are also expecting a baby.
