    Oh Odessa, goodbye Odessa,
    I will miss you so much,
    I will never forget you,
    Farewell my friends,
    Let's shout together:
    Odessa Mama, I love you so much!
    This Yiddish-Ukrainian song "Proshchai Odessa" was sung by Pesakh Burstein. I've combined it with a Ukrayinish Kek-Vok (Ukrainian Cakewalk) collected by Yale Strom.

    My life began in Odessa, but I did not see her, my mother Nadia was prégnant of me, we were in a camp of refugees in 1945 and she left Odessa with my father Joseph just before my birth, so that my little ears have heard the street music of Odessa. So I never have seen Odessa but I heard her! I was born in West Europe, became doctor, and with my father, we played music at home.
    . My son is a musician too.
    I love the movie "Cuirassé Potemkine" of Sergueï Eisenstein.
    I am now a grandma musician and I play Klezmer and Russian music. 🎶🎶🎶💝

My father brought over family members in the 1980s during the Gorbachev thaw. I would love to explore my heritage and see where I came from when god willing the war is over and Ukraine is victorious.

We red this book together, we did that often, buy the same books, or one of us got it in the library and if the book was good, we urged the other to read it. So we did read a book written by a Dutch writer, Albert Mol. He was not Jewish, but grew up in the red light district in Amsterdam, nearby the Jewish neighbourhood so he knew a lot of Jewish families and had Jewish friends. Anyway, the book was called Mengele broek en Pintje Billen, what means as much as: "A lot of trouser and a little bit of bum" sorry, can't translate it better. Have a nice life, and thanks for reminding me of good memories.

After a time in uniform, they opened a grocer that stayed in the family until my grandfather died. None of my family speaks yiddish today or is particularly jewish, its a bit sad.

      When did they come to Odessa? Maybe more recently then the other Ashkenazi Jewish who already lived in the area but did not spoke Yiddish anymore since centuries (ca 1500)?

      @@pepinillosazucarados6743 Why are you laughing fool? Try to laugh if you are a Ukrainian refugee. Or still in Ukraine hiding in a bunker knowing full well there is no home to go back to.
      What rub tickling fun. Or perhaps not.

    I started to learn Yiddish from the lady next door to my old house. The lessons stopped for some strange reason. I never found out why. But I think I know.
    Anyway, she was nice to try and do that for me, way back then.
