There were both good and bad people as far as anti-Semitism was concerned. I was the best pupil in the class, but the schoolmistress made me repeat the 3rd grade – in her opinion I was a poor pupil. I hated those who hated me. I didn’t hate schoolmates, though, only teachers.
My friends were Bulgarians. My school years are so far in the past that I’ve forgotten many things. I remember having a lot of friends – Bulgarian girls. The Jewish girls at school were wealthy, while I was poor, therefore we didn’t mix. Later on, when I grew up, I had a few closer Jewish lady-friends.
