Tag #133631 - Interview #100685 (Jozsef Farkas)

My father was a true Zionist, and I found out later that he secretly sponsored Keren Kayemet Leisrael [4]. The Keren Kayemet was a money box where people put money used mostly for planting trees in Israel. This money box was always hidden in the house, so that the authorities couldn’t find it. A delegate came occasionally and emptied it. After I finished the seventh grade in the Jewish confessional school, the teacher had already told us about it and only then I realized what was going on. As for politics, my poor father died politically independent: he wasn’t attracted by the right, or left.
