My mother, Klara Zakharovna, they also called her Chayusya in the Jewish way, was, like Granddad, a kind, good and sympathetic person. She was born in 1906 and died in 1987. She is buried beside my sister Tsilya. Mom studied, as she told me, in a Jewish school, there were only four grades there. Rather early, at 16 years of age, she was engaged to my father, so she probably studied at school until she turned 16. They spoke only Yiddish at home, and used Russian only when talking to children and neighbors. Both languages were spoken.
