  ... . Working in the coal mines was not pleasant, he began to look around to find friends. Since he was tall, dark and handsome, he made friends with some members of the Monarchist party. He soon learned the language of the country and the new friends especially the women folks, befriended him to the extent that at one lime they pul him up as a candidate opposing the one time Prime Minister Leon Blum. When Hitler invaded France this young man had to flee and was hidden near Nice, where he caught rheumatism which could be seen on one of his hands, lie asked me for S25.00 which I gave him and he promised that lie would send me the whole story of his life in France among the so-called Monarchist of the land, which would be very much interesting for publication but he never did. and no one else ...

  ... into Purim players. They performed the Biblical play "Joseph and His Brethren." He took the role of Joseph and his younger brother took the role of Benjamin. On Purim eve they went from house to house of our town and performed to the delight of old and young. We youngsters would follow them for hours on end. A year later, in 1918, while the cannons of war were still belching flame, our town folks in New York, members of the Progressive Boibcr-ker Young Men's and members of the Boibcrkcr Sick and Benevolent Society, as well as two or three members of the Boibcrkcr Women’s Aid Society, and several none affiliated individuals, gathered to organize the Boibcrkcr Relief Committee in New York.

He praises them both to the skies, upbraids them, reminds htem of their rcspec-table status and their responsibilities to their families. In fact, he does everything possible to quench the fire before it breaks out in a mighty flame. Choosing the one who still evinces some signs of reason, he tries a number of tricks to get him out-side, but does so in such a manner as will not impugn his honor or make him appear the loser trying to get away from the fight. Once they have been separated and one of them has been led respectfully, like a bridegroom to the altar, to the door, the other, con-sidering himself the winner, mouths ...

However, as the Jews’ demands were so modest following the adage : "Better a single slice of bread in tranquility" or "a tricken" shtikel broit’ enjoyed in peace, it may be assumed that they were contented with a rusk dipped in "gritz" (a lentil soup) or "pamale" (plum soup) and that their nostalgia for the peaceful Austrian era was sincere. It is only natural that the naive and simple Jew who knew little of politics, of the political processes and changes which had taken place in the world after the first world war, should regard Poland in its initial stages of independence as a state of riffraff with no chance of survival.

When Mama took a look at the pot at night, both at the pot and at me, I told her that the cat in the house must have done it, not figuring that it is not in the nature of cats to enjoy plum syrup. But all because it was just an hour after "davenin," and after saying "A1 chait" ("for my sins") I got away with a warning not to do it again or ("chali-lah!") I would get sick.
