My mother, Sonia Bogin Haas, was born in Glebokie in 1923. Her
father, Rabbi Solomon Bogin, was editor of the Yiddish newspaper, the
Gluboker Shteeme. She spoke Yiddish to her father, Russian to her
mother (who had grown up in Ukraine), and Polish in school. She was
the first grandchild and spoiled by her paternal grandparents; Rivka
and Meir Bogin and aunts ( Leah, Masha and Sonia?) and uncles
(Mordchay and ?). She remembered living in a simple wooden structure
with electricity but without indoor plumbing. She attended the local
gymnasia and walked to school across the frozen lake in winter. In
her last few years in Glebokie, she remembered increasing
anti-semitism, with harassment of Jews unpunished.
My grandmother had an aunt and also some second cousins living in the
US, and after many attempts, my grandfather and his immediate family,
including my grandmother, mother, and uncle, were allowed to immigrate
in 1938.
My grandfather, Rabbi Solomon Bogin, was one of 6 siblings. His
desperate attempts to get his extended family in Glebokie out were
unsuccessful. Only my grandfather, who was in the US, and one
brother, who was living in St. Petersburg and escaped to the Ural
mountains, survived. My grandfather's elderly father and his 3
sisters and other brother and their families in Glebokie were
murdered.
My mother married my father, a 3rd generation New Yorker, in 1942, my
father already in the army. She had 4 daughters (I'm the second) and
7 grandchildren. She always valued education, and she got her masters
degree in psychology after having 3 children. She worked as a school
psychologist in Miami for many years. She was married to my father
for 66 years, until her death.
I'm attaching some pre-war pictures from Glebokie that you can add to
your website if you wish.
