Babushka Khaya-Reeva[1] wrote it in Volozhin to her children in France on April 22nd 1941, exactly two months prior to the German invasion into the Soviet Union, one year after her daughter Etia's family was expelled to Siberia and some 10 months after the Germans occupied Paris. All Grandma Khaya's sons and daughter families (Osher, Izia and Zina)[2] who lived in France had probably already left Paris at this time.
