Zinaida Leibovich's mother Sprintse Altman's Birth Certificate

This is my mother's Birth Certificate issued by the Rabbi Office in Kamenets-Podolsk in 1920. My mother was born in Kamenets-Podolsk in 1919. My grandparents were very religious. They celebrated all the Jewish holidays and attended synagogue. On Friday my grandmother always lit a candle, and on Saturday her Ukrainian neighbor came to help around the house and take care of the poultry yard and cattle. My grandmother always made matzo at Pesach and even sold some to her Jewish neighbors. At home my grandmother and grandfather spoke Yiddish, and my mother knew Yiddish very well, too.
