My father didn’t go to school, but Grandfather, with him the only one [ed. note: the only son], laid out on him so he could get an education. Father used to go to Vienna and take examinations there. But he didn’t do a high-school final exam, because back then they had some other examinations. I remember that as a grown-up girl I saw Father’s certificates from Vienna around the house: in German, math, correspondence – I remember that, there was such a subject. Yes, they were some kind of commercial subjects. So Father was an educated man, he spoke German well, and wrote it, too.
