Tag #122390 - Interview #78432 (Mieczyslaw Weinryb)

Selected text
At work everyone knew that I was Jewish, and suggestions started to be made that I change my name. Many people even changed their surnames, but I didn’t want to, so I just changed my first name. Even before the war people used to hail me Mieczyslaw, Mietek [a diminutive of Mieczyslaw], so it stuck, and I struck the name Mordechaj out of my papers.

I was still doing jobs commissioned by Jewish institutions, except that they were organized by the co-operative.
