Tag #152468 - Interview #97158 (Efim Kadanskiy)

Kiev was liberated in November 1943. It took us few months to obtain the permit to leave for Kiev. We arrived in Kiev in the fall of 1944. My grandmother and Fania’s family went to Fastov.  Our apartment was occupied by a militiaman and his family. We lost our furniture, kitchen utilities and clothing, it was all gone.  My grandmother insisted that we went to Fastov, but my mother wanted to live in Kiev, in the apartment that my father had received.  My mother addressed the court. Rosa helped her to write her request, because my mother could hardly write.
