Our neighbors Sneidman had two children: Lusia and Noah or Nenia. The father of the family, a tall handsome Jew, owned a warehouse. He purchased bowels, washed and cleaned them and sold them to his clients for making sausages. He was a religious Hasid [21], he celebrated all Jewish holidays. On Sukkoth he installed a sukkah and we enjoyed spending time there. He died of a heart attack by the door to their house in the ghetto. His children survived the war. Lusia was in Riga [today Latvia] and was then taken to a camp in Poland. After the war she met with her cousin brothers in Vilnius and they took her to Canada where she married a Jewish man who had been rescued by Schindler [22]. Noah was in a partisan unit. After the war he stayed a while with my husband and me. Noah finished a teacher's training college. He got married and moved to his sister in Toronto. He became a Russian literature professor at Toronto University.
