At the age of 18 I became a full orphan. Anna went to work. Jacob was studying at engineering department of Kaunas University. After father’s death he took over his printing business. They lived pretty comfortably. Jacob got married in a year after father’s death. His fiancée Sonya was from a very religious rich family. Her parents lived in a small Lithuanian town. Mother of Jacob’s bosom friend Gefel took care of the organization of the wedding party. All members of Sonya’s family were Zionists and their mother was the most active out of them. She was a wonderful woman, very vivacious. The wedding party took place in her posh house. She was like a mother to my brother. Brother and his bride were wed under chuppah and after than they had a mirthful wedding party.
