Miedzyrzec Podlaski was a town where the majority of the residents were Jews. Jews who lived there didn’t speak Polish. We were completely exotic to them; they hadn’t seen Jews like us before. They were almost hostile towards us. We left our grandfathers in the synagogue, and went to look for an apartment, but the Jews didn’t want to rent us one. Because we didn’t speak Yiddish. Even Poles there spoke Yiddish.
