My mother’s father, Hayim Benmayor, (I do not know his birth or death dates) was a very nice man. He was from the best of families. When I say “the best of families” I mean “rich and educated”. They were quite a big family. He had two other siblings about whom I know nothing. Hayim Benmayor studied in Salonica because he was born there. He was a well-educated man and quite talkative. He was tall and dressed very fashionably in clothes that were the highest fashion of the time. I do not know what he did for a living. My mother’s side of the family spoke French and Greek because they had all been born and raised in Salonica. They all spoke Greek perfectly.
