Tag #153997 - Interview #90540 (Frida Muchnik)

My father was two-three years younger than his brothers: Motl, the oldest, was born in 1882, and Folyk - in 1884. I don’t know what they did for a living. I know, though, that they were married and had children.  When WWI began, they crossed the border to Romania to avoid service in the army. At this point of time Jews gathered into groups, gave bribes to frontier guards, who pretended they didn’t see how they crossed the border. From Romania they could move further on.
