Tales of our Fathers

Any one who has not yet (or recently) checked my Dad's blog should do so. Dad has recently been telling the story of how my great-grandfather, B. Barer, got his wife and kids (including my grandfather) out of Russia in the early part of the last century. It's a gripping tale of suspected espionage, gunpoint interrogations, and honest corruption. I'm glad Dad's posting it.

The story is also documented in Ben Rigberg's book on Judaism in Walla Walla.
