Tag #142257 - Interview #95224 (Ferdinand Chernovich)

Mother did her best to bring me up. She tried to teach me how to read and write in Yiddish. But I was not good at it. Either I was a poor student or my mother was a poor teacher. Mother did not tell me about Jewish history and religion. She did not observe Jewish traditions and did not mark holidays. Maybe it was caused by the struggle of the Soviet regime against religion  [5]. Mother understood that I would be raised an atheist at school and she did not want to make my life more difficult.
