My family comes from Zhytomir region. My mother’s parents, Faidysh and Hanna Gutman, lived in the village of Ekaterinovka near Narodichi, 200 kilometers from Kiev. They were born and lived in this village like all other farmers – they worked hard to make their living, keeping a cow and working in the farm field and kitchen garden.
They were poor and had many children that began to work in their early childhood. Giving education to their children was out of the question – the family lived from hand to mouth.
