A few old tenement houses at Czwartek Street have survived. Before 1939, mainly Jewish families were living there. In the Biderman Family house, on 3 Czwartek Street grew up Josef Fraind, born in 1923, whose memories have been recorded under Oral History Programme.I was the oldest son in my family, there were five of us. We lived at 3 Czwartek Street, in the Biderman Family house, across the house of Perec. My mother was born in Lublin, in the Holcekier family. My father came from a village near Lublin. My father’s name was Szabsa, and my mother’s name was Mala. My father was selling meat, he had a store on Jateczna street. My mother always woke up at 5 or 6 a.m. and she was up till 7 p.m. She was outside the house, helping the father. The father drove to the slaughterhouse situated in Wola everyday at 2 or 3 a.m. The work was very hard. In the winter he had to stand outside, in the cold, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., selling frozen meat, and in the summer, every evening, he had to bring to the basement the meat that was not sold and put it on ice, otherwise it would be rotten, and in the morning once again take it up to the store. It was hard work, but there was no choice, the family had to be provided for. There was no electricity in our house, only kerosene lamps. When I was coming back from SKIF (Socialist Children's Union) meetings, I always had a book with me and when I was coming back at 10 or 11 p.m. when the gates were being closed, then I read by moonlight, because first: I did not want to light a kerosene lamp, and second: I did not want to disrupt anyone’s sleep. That is how it was.
