My grandfather was a soldier in Nikolai’s army [2]. He served in the tsarist army for 25 years. I don’t know whether he was a cantonist [3], but he never quit his Judaic faith. According to my mother, my grandfather had a business and provided well for his family. My grandmother, Cipora, was a housewife like all Jewish women at that time. I only know four of my grandparents’ children, including my mother.
