Tag #123815 - Interview #97983 (Janet Arguete)

I started school in a Jewish school, then I transferred to Istiklal School.  We met again with friends with whom we studied together, years later.  None of us had changed, only our birth certificates had grown old.  We would visit each other with these friends.  They would not look down on us.  They would not regard us as inferior because we were Jews, on the contrary, they wanted to be with us.  In Bursa, the holiday visits were important too.  We socialized with our school friends and their families.  They were all children of intellectual families.  We had very good relationships with the teachers in our school too.
