Jews weren't allowed to walk on pavements, go to the market or stores or use public transportation. There were two small food stores where we could receive food products for cards. The circulating currency was Marks. The curfew started two yours earlier for Jews than for other citizens. Fascists cane to Jewish houses taking away valuables and making inventory of the furniture. They also took away more expensive pieces of furniture. There were local reporters giving them information about wealthier houses. Jews tried to hide their valuables with their Lithuanian friends. An old Lithuanian woman, who did our laundry, took a few bags of our belongings to hide. I even gave her the yarn that aunt Tyoma had given to me.
