Tag #150599 - Interview #78144 (Moisey Goihberg)

In the early 1930s there was a great famine in Ukraine [13]. We were hungry, but no people starved to death in Yaruga or the surrounding villages, because the collective farm managed to sell enough wine to provide for those who worked there. My father helped another family that had moved with us from Ivanovka to survive through those years. It was the family of a widow with 3 children. My father supported the widow and her family until her children finished their education and could earn their living.
