Tag #114435 - Interview #92211 (Boris Girshov)

I was a fan of Israel from the moment of its emergence. During the Six-Day-War [11] I did not sleep at nights: I listened to the Voice of America [12] and other broadcasting stations. A friend of mine secretly tried to persuade me to leave for Israel, but I knew that Tamara would never go there. It was impossible for me even to hint at it. You see, she is a Jewess by birth, but not by conviction. At home I have got Torah, but when I ask her to read it she refuses flatly.

I never visited Israel, but know about it more than my sister who lives there!
