My father prayed every morning and every night. He knew all the rituals, and we used to go to the synagogue when I was a little girl in Ukraine.I can't say that I believe in God now. How could I? So many years as a Komsomolka, a Young Pioneer. But I never was a communist. My husband was, though. He was a good, honest communist. If all the communists had been like him, this country would not be where it is right now.
I live in a little village called Waldheim with my daughter now. When we first came to Waldheim, it was all Jewish. Now you can hardly find any Jews there.
