My grandmother was born in 1900.
This is the certificate of completion of her sewing studies when she was 14.
She was born and lived in Germany until 1938.
She lived here more than 60 years and could not speak Hebrew.
She talked to me in Germain and i answered in Hebrew.
So now I can not speak German but I understand everything.
I find it hard to believe that this paper is 100 years old.
That is a wonderful document to treasure. I enjoy researching family history.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have a lot fo documernts but this very special.
DeleteWhat a story you have there ... family history is fascinating and although I do not know anything other than your posting you have given a real glimpse into the past. Did your grandmother keep up her sewing ... did she sew as a means to earn a living, or just for family. Do you sew?
ReplyDeleteIt is a interesting story.\, her life. May be I shai write it onother time. She did not sew at all after she came to israel.She was an amature painter.
ReplyDeleteSuch things used to be so beautiful. When I received my degree it was a very dull piece of paper; I think I threw it away. Yours is a very special souvenir.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to have. Do you have any of her paintings?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this nice history post. Such an interesting window into the past.
ReplyDeleteThe diploma is beautiful.
I started 8 years of German language study (in America) in 1959. Our first textbooks still had the graceful old Gothic script.
You are lucky you learned German through hearing, and not through textbooks.
Thank you Dina for your comment.
