Inscriptions Inscribed on recto in black ink TC: I remember you telling me of how you grew up: \ Taking wood from old buildings being torn down \ because your family was too poor to buy coal. \ Fighting because you had to because you \ were a Jew. Going to high school at night \ becasue the family needed you to work \ during the day. You wanted to be a \ lawyer, but were forced to drop your \ studies at Colombia to work two jobs.
