My parents got married in 1919 during the outburst of the Civil War 8, the time of devastation, hunger and diseases, when the power switched from one group to another in the town, and each time there was a pogrom 9. However, they had a traditional Jewish wedding. There was a chuppah in the most beautiful synagogue in Bershad, and musicians played at the wedding. Grandfather Gershko Shafer bought them a house where they moved in after the wedding, only grandfather Gershko and grandmother Surah died from typhus shortly after the wedding.
