Tag #152963 - Interview #78408 (Lidia Korotina)

My grandfather was an authoritative person. He was an assistant attorney, and the story goes that he couldn’t stand any violation of the law. They told a story in the family how once he saw a drunken policeman walking along and beating a Jewish boy. My grandfather took this policeman by his collar, tore off his shoulder straps, slapped him on the face with those shoulder straps and let the Jewish boy go. He had to hide in people’s attics for a long time afterwards!
