I went to school in 1931. It was a regular Russian school. It replaced our
former Jewish school at 5, Vladimirskaya Street (one of the central streets
of Kiev), near our house. Until 1935, there was a Jewish school next to
us, then it was closed, and its director became director of our school for
some time. I don't know why that school was closed. You see, we were all
internationalists; we did not care who was Russian, Jewish or Ukrainian.
Our school was mixed - boys and girls studied together. There were Jewish
children in our class, but no one cared.
