IV: They were introduced, and I've never been able to find out by whom, but they were introduced in Lower Manhattan, and they got together and they got married. IV: My father had three sisters who came after he did. SH: Did any other members of the family come after them? My mother was thirteen, I think she was thirteen, and she had a sister here waiting for her. The Russian Army had a twenty-five year draft, and he wasn't going to go in the Army for twenty-five years, so, he came over here in 1913, and, in 1917, the American Army drafted him, but he was here. I can almost guess why my father came, I think. We never talked, and this was a regret that I had, about why they each came. My father had a friend they called him Landsman, someone from the area that he came over with. Sandra Stewart Holyoak: Did they come over with other family members? I think my mother was fourteen when she came over.
My father, I believe, was nineteen when he came over. They didn't know each other until they met here. My father came from Poland, which was then occupied by Russia. It was part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. My mother came from the province of Galicia in Austria, I guess. Irving Verosloff: I was born on Octoin New York City. FA: Thank you very much, Mr.Verosloff, for participating in this interview.
