526.92
speaker2
522.93
session_faa25fda
so yeah he wasn't happy about it you know actually like most old guys he doesn't talk about it much about actual situations
535.68
speaker2
526.94
session_faa25fda
yeah
536.53
speaker1
535.01
session_faa25fda
yeah they don't talk about it
538.11
speaker2
535.62
session_faa25fda
do you ask have you asked him questions directly or no
540.26
speaker1
536.76
session_faa25fda
sure lots of times but as far as you know
543.41
speaker2
539.2
session_faa25fda
he wouldn't he wouldn't bring it up
545.17
speaker1
542.97
session_faa25fda
actual no he'll talk about like a guy he knew or or general conditions or stupidity or stuff like that but as far as you know
554.37
speaker2
544.03
session_faa25fda
say well like how was guadalcanal he won't talk about something like that
559.56
speaker2
554.05
session_faa25fda
yeah my uhhh my my grandpop was in in i guess he was a medic
565.95
speaker1
559.23
session_faa25fda
you know
560.8
speaker2
559.34
session_faa25fda
uhhh in france and uhhh
568.77
speaker1
565.46
session_faa25fda
was he drafted
569.75
speaker2
567.76
session_faa25fda
no i think he signed up
571.49
speaker1
569.41
session_faa25fda
oh
572.07
speaker2
570.59
session_faa25fda
ummm
573.33
speaker1
571.65
session_faa25fda
so i asked my dad recently if he you know when about his cause he died before i was born about my dad's conversations with him ummm and he said what he hated
581.95
speaker1
573.63
session_faa25fda
yeah
581.7
speaker2
579.89
session_faa25fda
most was just the waiting like so much as a soldier you just spent a lot of time waiting
588.25
speaker1
582.05
session_faa25fda
yeah yeah i've read that i've read that i'm so glad i never had to go in the military i mean just the even the the showering with other men part really would just just ruin the whole experience
598.58
speaker2
585.71
session_faa25fda
yeah me too
592.27
speaker1
590.5
session_faa25fda
yeah yeah i mean just sort of like a
602.19
speaker1
598.04
session_faa25fda
cattle a lot of times
604.23
speaker1
601.78
session_faa25fda
yeah the funny thing is before world war when they started drafting people in world war two before that the army was like the dregs of society i mean you did not need a high school education
615.28
speaker2
603.06
session_faa25fda
so you had this culture that was just
619.94
speaker2
614.93
session_faa25fda
a lot of these guys
622.3
speaker2
619.69
session_faa25fda
they had a choice go to jail or go go in the army
625.66
speaker2
621.97
session_faa25fda
so then when they started drafting like college students and whatnot and people even with high school educations it was a tremendous culture clash
634.53
speaker2
625.8
session_faa25fda
were you of age for the draft in the sixties
637.76
speaker1
634.12
session_faa25fda
yes yes i was
639.32
speaker2
636.77
session_faa25fda
i got i didn't i wasn't drafted because of my religion i'm a devout coward
644.68
speaker2
639.12
session_faa25fda
no really they stopped i was eligible for the draft but then six months later they stopped drafting people my brother was drafted
652.79
speaker2
644.26
session_faa25fda
did he go over
653.84
speaker1
652.1
session_faa25fda
he got drafted he got that letter from the president i remember that day got home from he had a summer job at a lumber yard and grandpop was in the house that day and he handed him a letter from the president there's no mistaking that letter from the draft board and grandpop said well boy you're in the army now and they opened it and he sat at the dining room table white as a sheet for like i don't know it seemed like forever just staring at it and it really does say greetings from the president
684.88
speaker2
653.39
session_faa25fda
he he as it turned out
688.6
speaker2
685.46
session_faa25fda
injured his back right after that so he got off on a medical thing it's an amazing coincidence but
695.94
speaker2
688.96
session_faa25fda
that's how it was with middle class people back then if you had your own doctor you know they would lay the paperwork you know it was a terrible thing it was mostly working class people who couldn't avoid the draft back then
710.23
speaker2
696.86
session_faa25fda
so yeah it was
712.84
speaker2
710.27
session_faa25fda
another unfair thing about the draft
716.55
speaker2
713.3
session_faa25fda
yeah
718.85
speaker2
717.4
session_faa25fda
any of your family since your
722.07
speaker2
718.76
session_faa25fda
uhhh no i mean my my family ummm let's see my dad was i think my dad was probably a little too young cause he was born in fifty six so when he turned eighteen it was not until seventy fourt so he was too young my uncle might have been eligible but
737.3
speaker1
721.96
session_faa25fda
yeah
735.85
speaker2
734.48
session_faa25fda
he must have been in college and
739.52
speaker1
736.99
session_faa25fda
ummm my dad's family's not super well off but not
744.36
speaker1
739.06
session_faa25fda
yeah
746.58
speaker2
744.25
session_faa25fda
yeah not working class
746.69
speaker1
744.29
session_faa25fda
well
747.74
speaker2
746.33
session_faa25fda
and my uhhh my my mom's side of the family is uhhh academics and artists so
752.73
speaker1
746.39
session_faa25fda
thank god around him
754.66
speaker1
752.43
session_faa25fda
the
754.02
speaker2
752.7
session_faa25fda
we we i had my grandfather was in the first world war i we had an uncle joe my grandfather's brother he was in the first world war
763.39
speaker2
753.63
session_faa25fda
then he signed up as a private at the age of like fifty two for the second world war
768.29
speaker2
762.96
session_faa25fda
he claims he was the oldest private ever let in i never actually researched it
773.48
speaker2
768.55
session_faa25fda
but yeah so he was over there twice he was a character my grandfather had nine brothers
779.54
speaker2
773.25
session_faa25fda
and they were all from russia they got here about like nineteen oh four
783.97
speaker2
779.28
session_faa25fda
and yeah so there's probably oh god knows there must be thousands of people named feinberg who are
790.51
speaker2
783.72
session_faa25fda
closely related
792.25
speaker2
790.02
session_faa25fda
was your how old was your grand grandpa when he when he came over
797.84
speaker1
793.41
session_faa25fda
he was nine
798.36
speaker2
796.32
session_faa25fda
years old i think yeah
800.77
speaker2
798.2
session_faa25fda
so he always he always kept his he always had an accent
804.86
speaker2
800.71
session_faa25fda
slight
806.39
speaker2
804.77
session_faa25fda
russian accent yeah
808.4
speaker2
805.95
session_faa25fda
so where did he go for the in the second world war
811.56
speaker1
807.8
session_faa25fda
my my grandfather my grandfather was in the first world war
815.15
speaker2
810.23
session_faa25fda
right and then you said he enlisted as a private or not
818.64
speaker1
814.87
session_faa25fda
no it was his his my uncle joe which was my grandfather one of my grandfather's brothers he was in france and then in the second world war he joined up again and went back overseas i don't know where
828.96
speaker2
816.65
session_faa25fda
he went back to france went here overseas
828.02
speaker1
824.14
session_faa25fda
hmmm
829.51
speaker1
827.93
session_faa25fda
so yeah
830.71
speaker2
828.63
session_faa25fda
so yes one of those families that there's just gotta be thousands of people who are closely related but we have no idea or i don't really care anymore
840.8
speaker2
831.43
session_faa25fda
ummm my family recently went to israel yeah and yeah we looked my mom looked up a a cousin who's there
854.57
speaker1
838.77
session_faa25fda
i dropped my microphone yeah you were telling me last last
852.17
speaker2
847.78
session_faa25fda
time
853.6
speaker2
852.21
session_faa25fda
it's a weird it's weird to meet family that you don't know
858.41
speaker1
854.12
session_faa25fda
well where do they come from now
861.22
speaker2
858.54
session_faa25fda
ummm so i think this woman uhhh she
867.17
speaker1
860.8
session_faa25fda
was a cousin
869.24
speaker1
867.09
session_faa25fda
or a second cousin of my great grandmother or no she descends from a cousin yeah hmmm she's uhhh
876.21
speaker1
868.75
session_faa25fda
oh
874.82
speaker2
873.32
session_faa25fda
european
876.93
speaker2
875.16
session_faa25fda
where did she end up i think she ended up in argentina
880.58
speaker1
877.09
session_faa25fda
and then she moved and then she moved to israel in in sixty seven i met her husband who was brazilian
888.89
speaker1
880.72
session_faa25fda
ah uhhh
889.26
speaker2
885.36
session_faa25fda
who also moved there
890.41
speaker1
888.5
session_faa25fda
huh but so how was she related to your mom
893.63
speaker2
889.04
session_faa25fda
i don't know i don't know but she so my mom brought over these documents and
897.87
speaker1
892.19
session_faa25fda
and the woman just wasn't that i think she was either really shy or just not that interested
903.1
speaker1
897.78
session_faa25fda
probably not that interested yeah it's a funny thing about israel if you want to live there as a jew good luck i mean you you they demand some vigorous vigorous paperwork
915.01
speaker2
902.02
session_faa25fda
including a signed statement by a rabbi that knows your family
920.18
speaker2
914.84
session_faa25fda
and if they don't approve of the rabbi's sect good luck
924.28
speaker2
920.08
session_faa25fda
so yeah it's a very involved thing i mean they get dual citizenship there
930.68
speaker2
924.86
session_faa25fda
i learned about that when i was over there
934.24
speaker2
930.95
session_faa25fda
it
934.34
speaker1
932.47
session_faa25fda
might be different now too but i don't
937.7
speaker1
934.6
session_faa25fda
no i i i checked it i was reading about that just a few years ago it's still a very vigorous process
942.81
speaker2
935.86
session_faa25fda
know
938.75
speaker1
937.37
session_faa25fda
really
942.99
speaker1
941.42
session_faa25fda
if you're not born there and you want citizenship or dual citizenship
947.13
speaker2
942.44
session_faa25fda
