Jacob Aarons

Was known as Jack or Yankele.

As a young child, probably around 9, he was selling berries in the street. Some Cossak soldiers came and he offered them some. They berries were sour and they thought he was trying to poison them, so they got him up in front of a firing squad. A Mysterious old man suddenly appeared and started stuffing his face with berries saying "this is our national berry, they're supposed to be sour, we love them like this!" and they let Jack go.

He was a very short man.
