Iosif, Shmil and Rieva and their spouses and children came on tour to Odessa in 1961. In the 1950s my father’s brothers belonged to middle class and had houses on the outskirts of Paris. Iosif’s son married this Italian neighbor’s daughter. After the war, when Iosif and Shmil returned to Paris, this neighbor reassigned all rights for the shop to them. During occupation this Italian man cooperated with fascists and expanded his business. Before departure they assigned their shop to their neighbor, an Italian immigrant, since Germans took away Jewish property. Iosif and Shmil took part in the Resistance movement. She married French Jew Moris and they had a daughter named Rachel.ĭuring WWII my father’s brothers and families left Paris. Sister Rieva worked with her brothers in Paris. They worked at home and also gave work to other Jewish immigrants. Top floors were commonly accommodated by servants. In Paris they rented a room on the top floor of a house. They were both married and decided to move to France with their families. At this time Pilsudski executed a treaty with France that needed workers and many Polish workers moved to France. He didn’t want it and was thinking of moving to the USSR. All children had education.Īfter the October revolution the family stayed in Poland that had separated. My father’s younger sister Rieva was born in Warsaw in 1912. My father’s brothers Iosif and Shmil were born in Warsaw in the early 1900s. His older sister, whose name I don’t know, died in Lodz in 1936. My father had two brothers and two sisters. I remember my father saying once that my grandmother had sent us an invitation to a world exhibition in Paris. My grandmother corresponded with my father till the end of her life. Their neighbor was an immigrant from Italy. My grandmother and her granddaughter Malka found shelter in their neighbor’s apartment during German raids. They never returned home and were never seen again. Her son-in-law and one of her granddaughters went to this registration, though.

During WWII, when Germans occupied Paris and announced registration of all Jews my grandmother refused to go and didn’t allow her granddaughters to follow this order.
When her daughter died in 1936 my grandmother, her two granddaughters and her son-in-law moved to my grandmother’s sons in Paris in 1926. After my grandfather died my grandmother lived with her daughter’s family in Lodz. All I know is that she was a housewife and took care of the household and the children. I don’t remember my paternal grandmother’s name or date of birth. He was an expert in Torah and Talmud readings and this is all he could do. She was enthusiastic about this opportunity to tell the story of her family of which she is very proud.Īll I know about my paternal grandfather Moisey Birman is that he was born in the Jewish neighborhood in Warsaw in the 1860s. She speaks emphatically with theatrical pauses and jests. She loves talking and laughs at this fondness of hers. Regardless of her diseases 80-year-old Minna Mordkovna delights me with her young lively voice and inexhaustible jokes. There are medications on a low table by her sofa. Minna Mordkovna is a hospitable hostess and it is next to impossible to refuse from pastries she has made particularly for this occasion. There is a big round table covered with a tablecloth in the middle of the room. The rest of furniture was bought in the 1960s. This mirror and two very old wardrobes are family relics. A big old mirror in a carved frame catches my eye in the hallway. Minna Mordkovna Birman lives with her single daughter Yekaterina in a two-bedroom apartment on the third floor of a 1956 house called ‘Stalinskiy’ design.
