I failed to have a family of my own. I had acquaintances, of course, but I was always busy. My mother was often sick and so was my brother, and then my mother had to go to hospital and I had to visit her in hospital and do work at home and go to work at the theater. My brother had heart problems. When he got ill he used to come by the window and say: ‘When I died bury me at the Jewish cemetery and may there be music’. He died of heart attack in 1973, at the age of 64. I did as my brother asked me, but I couldn’t go on living in this apartment.
