My father
So that memory doesn't die
This is the only picture I have of my father, Juda Nussbaum. Father didn't have a university degree. He only had his secondary school certificate, but he knew an awful lot of languages.He had simply taught himself. He was one of the first Esperanto speakers in Cracow. He was even learning Spanish while he was in the ghetto! He also worked on dictionaries, Polish-Hebrew and Polish-French, with that same friend. He was a journalist and a critic. Father had personal charisma and an awful lot of friends. There were always heaps of guests at our house, those friends of father's, who weren't married and didn't have children.
