Tag #142804 - Interview #78247 (Adolf Landsman)

My father never told me about his childhood and adolescence. His family spoke Yiddish. I think my father's family was religious. It couldn't have been different at that time, especially in hick towns. My father and his brothers moved to Nizhniy Novgorod [400 km east of Moscow] before World War I. It was a big city, but it was included in the Jewish Pale of Settlement [2], and Jews were permitted to live there. My grandparents stayed in Liozno.
