I don’t remember the names of all of my mother’s sisters, their husbands and children. My mother’s brothers studied at cheder, and the sisters studied with a teacher at home. Later all of them finished the Jewish elementary school in town. The sisters got married, were housewives and raised their children. They lived in the house that my grandfather had built, and there was enough space for them and their families there. Every family had sort of an apartment in this big house, which had as many rooms as the children my grandparents had. From the 1920-1930s 30 to 45 people lived in the house: my mother’s parents, the 13 families of my mother’s siblings and more than 15 grandchildren.
