On 22nd May 1959 our daughter Polina was born. Her Jewish name is Pesia-Perl after my mother and my wife’s grandmother on her mother’s side. My mother’s parents looked after our daughter until she turned five. I took the girl to them in the morning and my wife picked her up after work.
Polina spoke Yiddish before she went to the kindergarten. Our daughter studied successfully at a secondary and music school. After finishing school she finished Pedagogical Music College and now she teaches music at school in Chernovtsy.
My wife and I were very happy that Polina married a Jewish man. Our granddaughter Marina is 20 years old. She finished a Jewish secondary school and Polytechnic College. They live with us and my wife and I are happy about it.
