My grandfather on my father's side, Joseph Roitman, was born in 1880. At the beginning of the 20th century his family moved to Podol [1] in Kiev from some town, running from pogroms [2] and gangs. Podol was in the Pale of Settlement [3], where Jews were allowed to live. My grandfather was a tailor and had many clients.
