Tag #152581 - Interview #94179 (Gherda Kagan )

Before the war I didn’t understand the difference between Jews and Russian. I believed that since I was born in Leningrad in the USSR I automatically became Russian. My parents never told me that I was a Jew. I saw all children with painted eggs at Easter while I never had one.  When I asked my mother she said: ‘All right, next time you will have one’ and I calmed down.
