Recording Content:
This recording consists of an interview with Evgeniia Toyvovna Shusterman. Her father Toyva (b. 1901 in Tomashpol’ – d. 1995 in Tomashpol’) was a pious man and good singer, who could read and write in Russian and Yiddish. Espcially after the war, he was “like a Rebbe” to the Jews of the town, celebrating all Jewish holidays and praying every day. Shusterman shares her memories of celebrating Passover with her father after the war, but does not remember Jewish life before the war. She had a good job as a head accountant, but retired early at the age of 35 to take care of her father, who had then gone blind. |
