Tag #125918 - Interview #92187 (Grigory Gendler)

Mom told me that when she was young and not married, she lived on the 2nd floor of a wooden house in Kiev, near a monastery. During the Civil War [1] gangs under the command of Petliura [2] occupied Kiev and arranged pogroms [3]. They tried to catch my mother, therefore she was forced to jump down from the 2nd floor, escaping from Petliura’s soldiers. Unfortunately it affected her mind detrimentally.
