Tag #148528 - Interview #78160 (Galina Shkolnikova)

In the beginning my grandparents lived in the town of Berislav [150 km west of Kiev]. They had seven children and their first child, a girl, died as an infant. After that my father Idel was born, then Sarah, David, Isaac, Abram, Revekka and Rakhil. Grandfather Mordekhay worked in Nikopol, Southern Ukraine, as a log storage manager and had a house with a big garden on the bank of the Dnepr river. During the NEP [1] he organized a swimming pool and a boat-house in the garden, where his younger sons Isaac and Abram worked as boatmen.
