Berta Nusan and her granddaughter Borislava

Berta Nusan and her granddaughter Borislava

My mother Berta Nusan (nee Goldenberg) is in the picture and also my sister Hilda Mihaylova's youngest and most bumptious daughter, Borislava. The picture was taken in 1960-65 in the 'Park of Freedom', today Borisova Garden in Sofia, where we used to walk quite often. Most probably Borislava is 15 years old here. Hilda finished only a Bulgarian elementary and junior high school. She had a beautiful voice and participated in an amateur Jewish choir at the Jewish chitalishte. In her selflessness and devotion to people Hilda resembled mostly my mother. She worked in a hosiery factory. She married Mihayl Mihaylov, who was a Bulgarian and an electrician by profession. They had two daughters, Lilyana and Borisalva. She never moved to Israel and died in Sofia, but I can't recall the year of her death.
