Tag #156130 - Interview #103967 (Evgenia Wainshtock Biography)

At Pesach all children and their families got together at the table in their parents’ home. At Pesach my grandparents used special fancy dishes and table sets. I remember potatoes with prunes – I couldn’t stand the smell of them. There was matsah at Pesach. My grandparents talked in Yiddish. My grandfather spoke good Yiddish while my grandmother spoke a mixture of Yiddish, Ukrainian and Russian. My grandfather spoke Russian with his customers. My grandfather was a very professional tailor, but he drank, unfortunately. My grandfather worked as a tailor before the revolution of 1917. Between 1930s – 1941 he made clothes for commanding officers of Kiev military division.
