The daughter of Grandfather Solomon was married to a Russian general from
Marshal Zhukov's division. In 1947, when they were dealing with Zhukov,
they came at night for my father while they searched Solomon's house. It
was summer and all the windows were open. The general's housekeeper,
Natasha, threw a packet through the window that Mother hid under her
pillow. That morning Solomon came and brought Mother a large box of the
perfume "Red Moscow," but didn't eat with us and or even have tea because
our house was not kosher. After a few days, Solomon's granddaughter, Sveta,
in disgust over her cut finger said: "What is this! Soon Stalin will even
take our skins from us." And this turned out to be true. They were sent to
Kazakhstan and Solomon and his wife died from grief. Not far off was the
famous "Doctor's affair" of 1953.
