…I was 8 years old when my mother died on September 25, 1940. I was taken to neighbor so that I would not see the procedure of preparing for the burial. At the age of 8, like my sisters and brothers, I became an orphan. Until I was 8 years old, I lived with my brothers Shmuel, Raphael and my mother in one of the three rooms. In the other two lived brothers David and Abo with their wives and children.

I asked my brother David that my mother wanted me to become a dentist and not a dressmaker. My brother said that this is the time, you have to go to school to get a specialty, and then we’ll see.
