This is me, Estera Sava, together with my great-grand-daughter, Diana, in the summer of 2001.
I got married in 1938, at the age of 16, and had a daughter, Lucica, born the next year. She also got married very young and had just one daughter, Roxana, born in 1960. Roxana in turn has two children: Matei and Diana.
They now live in Germany, in Koln. Diana was born there. My daughter married a non-Jew and didn't observe the tradition in her family anymore. However, my granddaughter, Roxana, knows these things, because it was me who brought her up!
So the young ones know things about the Jewish tradition. Last fall, Diana told Roxana: 'Granny's holidays are coming, Mom. We should greet her!' And they greeted me, of course! They visited me last year, on Pesach, and I cooked them traditional food. And she told her mother: ‘This is so good! Mom, tell Granny to make some more, for us to eat on our way back!’
We keep very close connection, talk very often on the phone, and I’m expecting them again next holiday.
