Tag #151765 - Interview #84041 (Yacob Hollander)

I remember my grandfather Yankl a little. He was a short and stout man and had a thick beard and payes. My grandfather always covered his head. He wore a kippah at home and a hat to go out. Probably, at that time all Jews had their heads covered. Even in the morning, when a Jewish man got up, he could only make 3 steps without a head covering. On weekdays my grandfather wore his work clothes. He had a long black jacket to wear on Sabbath and Jewish holidays, when he went to the prayer house or synagogue. All I remember about my grandmother is that she was a short and thin old woman wearing a black kerchief as low as her brows and black clothing.
