I don’t know how we came to play [music]. I suspect Father was a kind of klezmer, playing at weddings, that’s what I think. He could play this and that on the fiddle, but it was the country type of playing, I’d say, klezmerish, of a poorer standard.

Well, I can’t say whether it [music making] was common, but I came across it in at least three homes [before the war in Kielce]: in our house there were several instruments: the piano, violins, cellos, there was an ocarina too.
