| From Tomasz Kizny: My
grandparents used to rent a flat in the Blitz's family house and it
seems that they were very friendly. My uncle Zygmunt remembers in his
memories Cipora’s grandmother Krassel keeping him on knees and telling
‘Mundziu, Mundziu’ (diminutive name of uncle Zygmunt). He himself
used to addressed them as ‘grandpa’ and ‘grandma’. He accounts
that grandma Blitz sometimes gave him the salad made from hard boiled
eggs, chicken liver and onions which he remembered as very tasty. Uncle
Zygmunt said that on one of Jewish holidays, probably holiday
Hanuka, Blitz family used to make wine from raisins and once grand
father Blitz had given to him this wine to taste. My
father telling stories from his childhood used to remember the scene: he
is walking on the main street of Bukaczowce, passing Blitz’s house he
could hear old Blitz calling “Tadziu (diminutive name of ma father
Tadeusz), would you like to have “lemene” (lemonade) and giving to
my father a cold drink. As a young boy he must like Blitz’s
lemonade very much since this moment stuck in his memory for good.
Father used to repeat this story or remember it quite often. |
