Tag #113904 - Interview #102857 (Boris Lesman)

In Kerch I knew no religious Jews. All of them were russianized. We did not celebrate Jewish holidays, until now I know nothing about them. In Kerch we lived among Russians. Only my grandmother knew Yiddish. But she always talked Russian to me, therefore neither I, nor my father knew Yiddish. When she talked to Mum, I understood ‘kushen tohas’.
 
I was in touch with my paternal relatives, and uncle Abram celebrated Jewish holidays.
