Our family was not religious, including my grandparents, we all wore common clothes, Grandfather didn’t wear payes or a kippah, we didn’t observe any ceremonies or attend the synagogue. Since my grandparents often spoke Yiddish to each other, I understood Yiddish and still do, though I never spoke it. Grandfather worked as a cutter at that time in a tailoring atelier, Mother was a controller in a Savings bank department and Father worked as an engineer at the Municipal Water Supply Station.
