- Ιστορία
My great aunt Ruth’s central memory of her grandfather (my great-great-grandfather) is that when he lived with her family, he really liked to make a dried fruit concoction. He loved it, but she thought it was disgusting. This was the main thing she knew about him, until she began researching him through newspapers, census and immigration records, and records the Nazis kept during their invasion of Poland.
