About Shava (Seiva) Aaronson (Aronzon)
"Mordecai married Shava because he fell in love with her, it was not an arranged marriage, as was the custom at the time. However, Shava's family could not afford her dowry, so my father secretly gave her family the money with which to buy her dowry. They were VERY much in love and lived in a Russian village called 'berbovitz'. My father owned a seedstore where he sold grain to the peasant farmers who lived outside the village [shtetl]. When they could not pay, my father, who was always very kind, gave them grain and let them pay with whatever they could afford: a chicken or some eggs or even not at all. When he died, at age 36, of the worldwide influenza epidemic that swept around the world, the farmers helped my mother and my sister and brothers and me escape to Roumania by putting all six of us in a horse drawn wagon, covered us with hay and in the darkness of night drove us to the Dniester River, where we could cross over into Roumania." As told to Judith by her mother, Gissie Aaronson (Marcus)
