Grigoriy Husid’s daughter Marina Husid and her husband, Mikhail Schigol

This is my daughter Marina Husid and her husband, Mikhail Mordkovich Schigol, born in 1946, an architect. This picture was taken in 1986 in Kiev. I've developed more interest in my Jewish origin and identity. I would like to go to my historical Motherland and, perhaps, stay there. Meanwhile, I've heard that they opened a Jewish museum in Kirovograd. I decided to give them Marina's stained glass painting. I've become interested in my origin, in khasids. I wonder where my name Husid comes from. It's interesting that when my grandson and his father went to Czechia the circle closed. I mean, our kin came from Czechia and went back there. There must be some specific flow of life. husid
