Grandfather lived near our house in Moldavanka. One year before he died he moved in with us. He died in 1937, when I was 8.
He was buried in accordance with the Jewish tradition. I remember well that the casket was taken to the synagogue where they recited prayers and then it was carried along the streets in Moldavanka. There were many people in the procession: my grandfather was well respected. He was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Slobodka. My father couldn’t afford to sit shivah, for he had to work hard.
