I remember some of the names |
248 The First People's School of the "Worker Thatch" Association in Warsaw, at 16 Muranowska Street, 1921. "The parents of my friends from this school were mainly craftsmen, laborers, and small shop-owners. I don't recall any well-to-do families. My father was a type-setter for Yiddish and Hebrew newspapers. The school was under the patron age of the Poalei Zion Left Party. The language of instruction was Yiddish, but Polish and Hebrew were compulsory subjects. The names of the teachers have stuck in my mind: Aronson, Blas, Epstein, Glatstein, Gordon - the vice-principal, Nachtenstein (in the center of the second row, embracing me and my friend Prechner), Rubinlicht, Salomonow (he walked with crutches, and organized the school orchestra), Schiper, Smolar, Wolfson. The principal was a wonderful pedagogue and physician, Dr. Ajzensztat. I received this photograph in 1952 from Mrs. Gordon of Chicago. My copy was destroyed in the bombardment of Warsaw."
