When I started the forth grade, a law entered into force: a Jewish child might attend only a state or a religious [that is Jewish] school [3]. There wasn’t religious school here, only primary, the Jewish school was in the present Horea street, but there wasn’t any secondary school. My father said then: ‘If there isn’t, you’ll go to the Romanian school.’ I finished the forth grade in a Romanian gymnasium. I was 14 years old.
