Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Tape recorded interview covering the years 1905-1940, conducted by Fannie Roberts and Meta Kaplan on 15 Oct 1973.
Mrs. Rogoway describes Shtetel life in Galicia, Poland before World War I. She refers to war with Turks, but probably means World War I. She discusses homemaking, Sabbath preparation, and the Jewish community. Mrs. Rogoway's parents died during the war and she and her brother were taken care of by an orphanage that was started by the neighbors. On side 2 she describes the journey from Galicia via Warsaw, Antwerp, New York. Her interview also covers the subsequent migration of other brothers and sisters after World War II.
