thii bits and pieces of stories
shared by his two daughters,
Merry Silber and Janet Gussin.
In many ways, his life reads like
cciantless other Jewish men of
his generation.
He was born Jacob Kurzmann
into a ; large family in Odessa,
Russia. His parents owned a
grocery store and, relatively
non-observant, cosidered them-
selves intellectual Jews.
Yet as a- young boy, Kurtz
knew first hand the perils of
being Jewish. Silber explains,
"My father rarely came home
without being beaten up because
he was a Jew. It had a lasting
impression on him.
• He recalls his early life
Russia. "We had a hard life.*
mother always worked- - very
hard in the kitchen. Lused to go
to school. I played. , in the school
. in the
orchestra and . 'sang
synagogue."..: 1
At V; his life suddenly
changed dramatically. Ripe for
the 25-year :mandatory army
'Conscription given to Jewish
boys, Kurtz fled Russia. He re-
members, "Special agents were
looking for me. I ran into the
forest. I never saw my family
again."
'Escaping to a brother living
in Germany, he changed his
name to Kurtz and booked pas-

sage to America. From New
York, he traveled west to join a
landsman, (countryman) in
Colorado, who provided him
with a milk route in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
The milk route was lonely
work. Kurtz realized he was
ready to get married. His land-
sman had a sister, Leza, still in
Russia.
Merry Silber tells the story of
her parents' ill-fated courtship
with sad resignation. "My
mother was 22. years old and
considered an old maid by her
family. She was in love with a
boy mhose eldest sister was not
.znarried. Because of this, the
boy's family would . not allow
him to marry. My mother's fam-
ily rejoiced at the chance to end
their daughter's spinsterhood.
She was shipped off, in spite of
her protests, to Salt Lake City.
"She married my father, had
three children with him, but
never loved him. They had two
different natures. After 20
years, she asked him for a di-
vorce."
Kurtz shows me a photo of his
wife as a young woman. A sol-
idly built, handsome woman
looks directly into the camera.
"She was beautiful," he muses,
"Ya, ya, ya, such is life. My
marriage ... nut so good."
