My grandfather on my mother's side, Moisei Beniaminovich Levitin, was born
in 1865 in the city of Pogar, in the Bryansk region. He finished Hebrew
school and was an Orthodox Jew. His native tongue was Yiddish. He lived
with his wife and children in the village of Starodub, formerly of the
province of Chernigovski (now the Oryol region). He was a minor trader and
handicraftsman. He made honey, wine, and artificial fish fat and other
lubricants, which he then sold at a stall in his town's market. His wife,
Sosya Shaevna, was a housewife.
