My father and I, on the other hand, would go somewhere. We did shopping. There was the synagogue of the Italians that we called “Kal de los Frankos” [the Italian synagogue]. It was on the hill behind Neve Shalom [4]. There were stores there from top to bottom [today it is called Ziyapasha Hill].
The kosher butchers were there too. Seafood sellers, grocers. There was even a big grocery store. He sold oil by liters. My father would take a tote bag with him [like the shopping bags of today, but made of fabric], and I would take one too. We would buy the meat and other necessities.
