• Notes

  Moved to Texas in the 1930’s “My father carried through his life a deformity of his right hand that was self-inflicted. When he was reaching military age, I imagine around age 18, he cut and severed the tendon of his right trigger finger and bandaged it in a bent position so that when it healed, he could never straighten that finger out. It wasn't an uncommon practice for young men to mutilate themselves. Military service in the Russian Army was something that the average Jew dreaded because it was anti-Semitic to start with and the time of their servitude was long. They would have to forget about their faith as far as upholding the dietary laws and other aspects of religious life. A lot of them who didn't want to serve did anything they could to avoid it. When my father was called for service, he showed the officers his hand and told them that the finger would not straighten out. They didn't believe his story, so they had him lay his hand down on the table and pounded it with their fists to try to straighten it out. They didn't succeed. They hurt it, but that finger never did straighten out. For the rest of his life that finger was bent.” [1, 2]
