Tag #123831 - Interview #97983 (Janet Arguete)

My husband Avram Arguete was a very principled man, hard-working and honest.  At first they were very rich.  His father Albert Arguete’s nickname was “Golden Bee”.  They had a haberdashery store in Ortakoy.  He was born in Ortakoy.  That store was the one with the most variety at the time.  But I was not around for the times of wealth. Yo me topi en la aniyud [Judeo-Spanish for: I was around for the poverty]. The Wealth Tax erased all of this wealth.  My father-in-law did not have a single experience with the police in his life.  Police officers came to his store during the Wealth Tax.
