My father was a tailor by trade. He had a tailor's workshop in Bielsko. Literally 100 meters from the square, there was this small street, Podcienie, it was called, if I'm not mistaken. You went into his shop off the street; there were some shops next to it. I think the shop was simply called 'Izaak Glaser.'
At first my father must have been successful, because I remember a tailor's workshop run by Father separately with a few apprentices. I don't remember how many of them there were. But there were sewing machines, not one - several. And then there were these irons that were put in a special oven. I remember the workshop, only I don't remember those good times of Father's. I remember the workshop when it must have been vacated, because unfortunately Father had to give it up, presumably because of the high rents. And so he was left alone with one sewing machine.
