This is a picture of my mother's younger sister Khaya Kislyuk [nee Shnaiderman], her husband Pinia Kislyuk and their son Arkadiy. The photo was taken in Chernovtsy in 1945. My maternal grandparents, Shloime and Perl Shnaiderman, had seven children: five daughters and two sons. Khaya was the youngest in the family, she was born in 1922. The boys studied at cheder, the daughters were educated at home. They had a teacher from cheder who taught them Hebrew, Yiddish, the Torah and Talmud, history, literature and mathematics. They spoke Yiddish at home. Khaya finished a course of tractor drivers and began to work in a tractor crew. Before the war Khaya married Pinia Kislyuk, a Jewish man from Faleshty, who was also a tractor driver. Aunt Khaya, her husband Pinia went to a collective farm before the war. They managed to escape. Pinia went to the front, and Khaya was in evacuation in the Ural. When Pinia demobilized he was sent to work at the railway station in Chernovtsy. In 1945 Khaya, Pinia and their son Arkadiy, born in the evacuation in 1941, moved to live in Chernovtsy. Their daughter Nina was born after the war. Aunt Khaya was a housewife after the war. In the 1970s their family moved to Israel. Khaya died in Israel in 1991. Her daughter Nina, her husband and two children live in Beer-Sheva in Israel.
