Grandfather was a tailor and Grandmother was a stocking-maker. Grandmother was involved in this craft while the children were small. When they grew up, Grandfather began to make more money. He worked at first at the cooperative and later on as an independent handicraftsman. His health did not allow him to work at the cooperative any longer and the children also helped at home. Grandfather had never had an atelier of his own or hired employees. His customers were mostly Jews. Grandmother stopped working and kept the household. They spoke Yiddish. Grandfather could not even write in Russian. He had no beard, but he had a moustache. My grandparents dressed very well, as Grandfather was a very good tailor.
