He was the youngest of three sons born to David Maslia and Rachel Cohen Maslia. His older brothers were Victor and Albert. Dan’s father immigrated from Izmir, Turkey in 1914 and his mother immigrated with her family to Cuba in 1912 and the United States in 1920. His father owned and operated Victory Shoe Repair. Dan grew up on Central Avenue in Sephardic “ghetto” in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dan married Mimi Monett in 2018, and they continue to live in Atlanta. Dan enjoys cooking various Sephardic delicacies including bottarga, which is often referred to as a poor man’s caviar made from mullet roe.\u003c/p\u003e (bioghist)","\u003cp\u003eDan begins the interview by sharing who his parents and two brothers were. He mentions his first wife, Janet, who is now deceased, his three children and five grandchildren. He talks about his parents’ families coming to United States from Izmir, Turkey. He recalls that his mother’s family went to Cuba first for a few years, possibly due to paperwork issues. He recounts that two of his father’s sisters did not come to the U.S. with the family. He shares that one married and lived in Paris, France and the other one married and lived in Rhodes. He recalls how the sister in Rhodes was sent to Auschwitz where she died along with two of her three children.  \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDan discusses his father becoming a shoe repairman in Atlanta, as did many of the Sephardic men, helped by Ezra Tourial who owned a leather goods business. He mentions that Ezra Tourial and Victor Avzaradel were instrumental in establishing the Sephardic community in Atlanta, as well as Congregation Or VeShalom.  He remembers that the Sephardics lived in a very insular community, close both in physical location, as well as socially. He talks about Rabbi Joseph Cohen having a big influence on his generation. He provides that services at the synagogue were mostly Hebrew, but that Ladino was also used frequently. He shares what Ladino is and how the language came about.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDan details his mapping project and how he came up with the idea, how it expanded over time to include not just people and homes, but occupations, businesses, and synagogues within the Sephardic community. He describes the map and book with a key that allows for cross references, and how it covers many years of change starting around 1914. He shares that copies of the map are at the Breman Museum and the Atlanta History Center. \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDan spoke on why there seemed to be a large immigration of Sephardic Jews in the early 1900’s. He mentions the various cities with large Sephardic communities in the United States. He talks about the origins of the Sephardic Jews and how they were forced out of Spain during the Inquisition of 1492. He shares that they were welcomed by the Ottoman Empire, which includes Turkey, Rhodes, Egypt, and North Africa. \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDan reflects on some of his friends in the neighborhood where he grew up. He recalls that he and his family moved around a few times. He mentions that the Sephardic community began to move to the north side of the city in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. He recalls some of the businesses in the Sephardic community and the families that owned them. He shares that many original structures and homes have been destroyed due to the expansion of the Interstate 75 and Interstate 85 interchange downtown.  \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDan discusses the Sephardic food that he grew up with and how he has continued the tradition by teaching his own children and grandchildren, as well as giving classes at the synagogue and having cooking videos on YouTube. He describes making some of the foods including boyos and burekas, and bottarga. He shares his memories of his mother and others making bottarga during his childhood and how it’s now considered an expensive delicacy. He remembers starting to make bottarga with Rabbi Robert Ichay. He recounts how he sold it online for several years but stopped because it became too much work once he turned 90. He shares that he and a group of regulars at synagogue sometimes sneak out of services to have scotch and some bottarga.  \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDan reflects that the Sephardic community in Atlanta is not as vibrant as it once was, with many children and grandchildren marrying and going to other synagogues.

He spoke about not liking the change, but accepting that it is necessary, and was even a part of the search team for a new rabbi that would bring a more egalitarian mindset to the congregation. He shares that his first wife and his current wife, Mimi, are both Ashkenazi Jews.

Seventy-five percent of the members of the synagogue lived in this area and the synagogue was right in that area, in Central Avenue and Woodward Avenue. It was a big family. In fact, if ever there was a wedding or bar mitzvah they didn't send out invitations because everybody went. Growing up the first rabbi, we had three or four rabbis, but the first rabbi that really settled us down was the Rabbi Joseph Cohen who came here in 1934 from Cuba. He was originally born in Turkey but then he moved to Cuba. In 1934, he came and he got our congregation going.

We used to joke that every time the rent came due, some people moved, things like that. I had that and then at the end of the book, I put a listing showing who was the first person that moved into this neighborhood. When you have Excel, you can do just about anything you want. At very end, I had the census. In 1934, Rabbi Cohen made a census as soon as he got here of the synagogue. The census had, in 1934, our synagogue had 135 families. Seventy-one came from Rhodes, 62 from Turkey, one from Egypt, and out of these 135 members there were 240 children. I had taken the census from Rabbi Cohen and put it on a spreadsheet. Then I'm thinking, well, where did these people work, what were their businesses?  I was able to go back down to the history center and to the Breman and looked up at the occupations and we found out so many of these are shoemakers, where they worked, where the addresses of their restaurants and shoe shops were.

You had to put tomato sauce in it. It made it tasty, but not exactly very healthy. But we grew up on that. The other thing they always say is the Sephardics are known for food. I think sometimes it's overdone. We're not all about food, but a lot about food. My mother was an excellent cook and she made everything, especially the desserts. Have you heard of the burekas and boyos? Those are classic Sephardic foods. My mother made them all the time. She passed away in 1971. I got to thinking, I learned one thing about cooking. It's a fallacy that people say, \"Oh, it's too hard.\" Cooking, making any of these things, it is not hard. It just takes time and patience, and the desire to want to cook. It's really not that big of a deal. I got the cookbook, the Sephardic cookbook and I started making them, oh gosh, 50 years ago, making the bureka and the boyos and then all the baklava and the different desserts. My kids loved them and I used to cook for them, and my grandchildren liked it too. Every one of my five grandchildren and their partners have all had cooking lessons. My . . . children say, “Why should we cook because Dad's cooking. Dad's cooking for us.” Now my grandkids are learning how to cook. I got to the point where I was giving lessons to individuals, and then at the synagogue they said, “How about giving lessons on making the boyos.” That's the hardest thing.

It's not as vibrant as it was \nwhen I was growing up. But if you go to Seattle, if you go to New York or LA [Los \nAngeles], in fact, the University of Seattle has a, the University of Washington has a \nSephardic study program where they teach Ladino.

It bothers \nme, but things change as you go. I think our traditions are going to remain. The food is going \nto remain. I don't like to overplay food in Sephardim, but it's an important part of it. We \nstill have similar services at our synagogue. We've gotten to the point where we have become \nmore egalitarian in our services, which is not what a true Sephardic. The true Sephardic \nsynagogue is separate seating, period. Men here, women there, but it is not working anymore\nin our synagogue. We've gone egalitarian where we have women participating in services that \nthey do not in other Sephardic synagogues, but that's keeping us alive. We've decided that \nthis is what it's going to take. Now, I'm from the old school and I prefer the services the way \nthey were a generation ago, but it's not about me anymore. It's about the future of my \nsynagogue. In fact, as much as I like the other service, I was a member of the search \ncommittee to find a new rabbi.

In the summer of 1944, 1,673 Jews, known as Rhodeslis, were loaded onto boats and sent to mainland Greece. There, they were loaded onto cattle cars and sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
