A construction company admitted me as an apprentice. Its owner was a Jew. My father thought it would be good for me to work in construction and see with my own eyes how a drawing turned into a building. I was even paid a little. Though sometimes, when a night guard did not come to work I had to guard the construction site. I was not afraid of staying there at night – I made a fire and managed, but my mother couldn’t sleep at night and met me in the morning. However, this job was a temporary way out of this situation. I needed to learn a profession enabling me to have a decent life.
