During the war, in 1942, refugees came to us from Kharkov: Grandmother's
brother Josef with his wife, Frieda, as well as two of Grandmother's
sisters and their families and my deaf-mute great-grandmother. These 14
people fit somehow into a two-room apartment. I don't remember my great-
grandmother's name; at home we simply called her "Old Grandmother." The
grownups slept in pairs on skinny metal beds. The older boys and girls
slept on the table and dresser, and the little children on chairs pulled
together.
