Of Uncle Zalman Barish was Moyshe Barish and Mitze Barish and of the Michalson children --- and perhaps they will write a leter. Now I write about myself. I came to Zaslav (Izyaslav) in 1948 from the evacuation alone and I found nothing. I bought a house from the administration -- you must remember near the castle right over the bridge --- my youngest daughter got married --- she is --- working --- in Klimbivka. She is named after our mother Chana Pessia. They have 2 children. The son has turned 13, and the daughter 5. Very beautiful gifted children. I have fine children thank God. All my children live very well. Two children in Zaslav. You know my Reyza. She has a fine husband. Her husband is already on a pension. He gets a lot of money and lives very well. They have 2 daughters, already married. Very nice husbands and grandkids.
