Tag #127817 - Interview #97497 (Sami Schilton)

Both my parents died in Istanbul, but I cannot remember the dates.  They are both buried in the Jewish cemetery.  They are buried in the Italian Jewish cemetery [6] in Sisli [a district in the European side of Istanbul].  They were buried with a religious ceremony.  There was a rabbi at the funeral and I recited the Kadish [kaddish].  Every year we have a meldado [the equivalent of the yahrzeit in the Ashkenazi rite] at the synagogue for them.
