Soviet Exile- Finding Safety
in Stalingrad as the” Khimike”
There followed a year
of relative quiet as the two
brothers managed to settle themselves in Tarnopol. The Soviets had annexed the
central regions of eastern Poland to Byelorussia( White Russia) and southern
regions to the Ukraine , while Lithuania absorbed the northern regions. They
set about removing all traces of Polish heritage from these regions. They also
disbanded the Jewish communal institutions and Hebrew education, while allowing
for Yiddish language education under state-run schools. All this did not
affect the two brothers as they kept a low profile.
