My grandmother's name was Esther, her name was Esther Wolf. She married someone who owned the largest department store in Indianapolis, Indiana, up to about maybe 10 years ago. I've forgotten the name of that department store, but my older sister visited them, and they were very . . . another relative owned the real silk hosiery mills, and another one was in the jewelry business. They fared very well financially in Indianapolis. This Uncle Louis Wolf's daughter was an art collector, and she gave a lot of art to a museum there. I was never there. I don't see anything that I wrote down here, except some might give a little tendency of comedy. My father was a very large man, not heavy, but just six foot two and the right weight for it. In Atlanta, sometime during the teens, we had a tremendously large fire that was very, very threatening. It was started around Boulevard Northeast, and they were afraid it was going to engulf the whole city. At that time we lived on Woodward Avenue. There were a lot of Jewish people that lived on Woodward Avenue and one of the residents across the street from us, catty-cornered, was Esther Taylor who sponsored the financing of this organization that you are taping here. Everybody was very frightened about fire, and my mother didn't have enough suitcases, and she was throwing clothes and things in sheets and putting them in the street. They heard, I couldn't have known . . . Esther [indistinct: 31:10 possibly ‘Kiss’] piano is going to get burned.\" Esther Kiss meaning Esther Kahn Taylor. The one that told me this was her brother, Louis Kahn, he says, \"You know,\" he said . . . we became . . . we were friends all through her life, but I was the youngest, my oldest sister was her best friend, and they went together as young girls. But Louis met me over at Esther's one time, and he says, \"You know your father saved Esther's piano. My mother was screaming, Esther's piano is going to be burned', and your father ran across the street, and he pushed it off of the . . . out of the house, off of the steps. There were two steps, and he pushed it into the street.\" That's how Esther Taylor's piano got saved. She was a very fine musician.

First when we moved from Woodard Avenue, he was about the first Jewish people, his family, to move to the North Side. Most of them were moving to Washington Street and Capitol Avenue. But he bought a . . . really it was a lovely home on Ponce de Leon and years later, Dr. Marje [sp] bought it from him. He moved us . . . we had a concert grand in that house. Anyway, he moved us to West Peachtree Street, but he rented that house. When he finally found another house that he wanted us to live in, we moved to Boulevard, 625 Boulevard Northeast. That house is still standing. From there, he moved . . . I'm jumping the gun. Did I tell you that he got the medal 44 years after? We had quite a tragedy, my mother . . . people rode streetcars in those days, and we didn't own a car. My mother went to the south side, to Georgia Avenue near Capitol to a grocery store that that Uncle Wolf owned. My sister Louise, who was third in line, went over there to help him. She'd work. My mother went over to get her because she didn't want her riding by herself at night on a Saturday night. When they got out of the store on George Avenue and walked up the ways to Capitol Avenue and were crossing the street, just off the curb, a car came riding down from the Piedmont Hospital that was on Capitol Avenue in those days. It hit both of them and threw my sister quite a few feet, bruised her up and loosened some teeth, but they grew back. But my mother was knocked backwards and had a brain concussion and died the next day. Years later, not too many, just a few years. I had an uncle die in Mount Vernon, New York. The family's name is Aaronson. My father, she owned a duplex, and my father met a young woman whose father rented that duplex. She was about 35 years old, an old maid in those days. He met her and proposed to her later on. Did I say my uncle had died? Yes. Her name was Ethel Markel, and she was a very bright woman, very cultured woman, and a fine pianist, almost like a concert pianist. She came down to Atlanta with her sister to look over the situation, and some of my aunts told her she shouldn't marry my father because he had five children, and she didn't pay attention. She fell for him. He was handsome and good looking. In fact, I was downtown one day and a Jewish lady, a Mrs. Israel, stopped me and she says, \"You know, when your father used to walk down Peachtree Street here, all the Jewish women used to 'ahh,' gasped for breath because he was so handsome in his white linen suit.

My oldest sister was 17, then 16, my mother had a row of 16, 15 and a half maybe, and my brother was 14, and then here I came a few years later. It wasn't easy. None of them really were as nice to Ethel as they should have been. They were just pain in the neck teenagers. But I loved her, I loved very much, and I don't have any complaints. She finally had a child, had several miscarriages, and her child is an outstanding woman. Her name is Helaine Strauss, Helaine Brodie Strauss. She married a young man from Sharon, Pennsylvania. She was given a good education, and she was a journalist. She was head journalist for the Jewish Home in Atlanta and did a lot of interviewing of important Jewish people. You might find information there in the back files of the paper when it was known as the Southern Israelite. Now, for a good many years, she's been head of the YWYH of the Community Center of Nassau County in Long Island. She's going to retire in a year and a half. She's been very well thought of and invited to all the important Federation meetings. She has a very good reputation, and she is a wonderful person and very bright, and we are very close. I have a feeling of almost a mother to her. We were 16 years apart, and every one of her children have done very well, and professional people, and done very, very well in their fields of architecture and librarian. One daughter is a very important librarian, and she's been recently invited to try cases in front of the Supreme Court.

She was Reform, but my father belonged to Ahavath Achim, but he joined the big Temple and for years was member of both, and then he quit the Ahavath Achim came Depression time, he couldn't pay dues to both of them. Ethel was program chairman of everything. She brought . . . Atlanta's culture was not great in those days. They weren't active and aware of so much as we are today at all. But she would give concerts. She was even asked to give concerts . . . [interview pauses, then resumes] . . . to give piano recitals there. She conducted the programs for Hadassah when she was program chairman, and my father used to help her. I remember them sitting in the dining room table and he knew the Bible quite well and he used to give her information. They would collaborate and one time, I remember she gave a program, but I was still a young child, and I didn't go to see it or anything, but it was some kind of a program enacted of Jewish things that happened, probably in Israel. I don't know. She was in charge of that. She was program chairman at one time for The Temple Sisterhood and gave some beautiful programs for that. She was just very active and at my recitals when I was studying, she and my teacher used to give a concerto together. It beat the whole program. I remember I played Chopin's “Minute Waltz” in those days. That was at the concert, but I was not much of a pianist. I didn't take after my stepmother. Helaine, she had played the cello. She thought that was a good instrument for a girl. That picture over there of a woman playing the cello was one she had in the home. Helaine says, \"You take the cello.\" . . . I can remember one time my father going down, we lived in the house on Boulevard with a lot of steps, and he was being taken to the veterans hospital. He got parrot fever. The store was near Cunningham's, I think their name was, on Broad Street and they were selling parrots. He caught it, I guess had a weakness because of his malaria in the past, who knows. Anyway, he had a 32nd degree ring, and he had put an amber diamond in it that was my mother's engagement ring, that's what he had . . . a yellow diamond he had given her. She was dead already, naturally, and he took it off of his finger and told my stepmother to give it to my brother if something happened to him. He kind of thought of a lot of things like that.

A lot of family members say all that was just talk, because the name was Brodie. We had a relative in Russia after the revolution.

He had a handsome brother, Arthur, died very young of a heart attack. His wife was a fine pianist. A lot of musicians in my family. Esther Taylor and Ethel used to play concertos together and then attend together. In those days, people didn't go to concerts and operas too much. They couldn't afford it. Ethel used to give recitals at home and invite their friends, and all of the chairs from the funeral parlors. She and Esther would play together, and Esther told me later years, \"I didn't really want to play with her because she played so well and I was afraid to do that concerto, but she insisted.\" She had great respect for her. Ethel used to invite anybody in the Jewish community, and some in the Christian, that were musicians, singers. Minna Taylor was Esther's sister-in-law. I think she was a soprano.

Anyway, this young man played the violin, and she'd have him come and play. Then there was a Christian gentleman that played the piano and talked, and he would be invited to play. Then that was all in the living room. In the dining room, she was very artistic with making hors d'oeuvres and little dainties, little cakes. I was giving the job to arrange them like flowers, the platters looked. After the concert, the chairs were moved and everybody came to the dining room and had coffee, tea, and all those goodies. Some of the finest Jewish people in Atlanta were there. You heard the name, I think it's on your list, Cecil Alexander? I don't remember him ever coming, but his brother was a lawyer. He had married a German woman, I think. She used to come over and visit with Ethel very often. They finally built a home in back of where Phipps Plaza is. That was their home.

We got to the foot of San Juan about 1 p.m. There was fighting on all sides. I remember we had to cross a creek at the foot of the hill. There were barbed wire fences in the jungle, and artillery was banging away from another hill. The 16th and a number of other American units started up the hill in the face of fierce fire from the entrenched Spaniards. The action continued until July 3rd before the Spanish were routed, and the Americans turned for the mopping up.' But let Ben Brodie tell about San Juan, 'There were plenty of Spanish in the trenches up the hill. Some of them dead, some of them wounded, and others swarming like flies around the hill. A lieutenant named O-R-D was killed as we reached the trenches. We got him back to a detail, and then a man named Smith, and I started up. Then we got beyond, I noticed the men behind us were being killed. When Smith covered me and I went into the blockhouse, there were four Spanish snipers in there and I brought them out.' That's how Ben Brodie got the silver medal 44 years after the battle.\"","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/146165/file/269471#t=4329.0,4462.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/146165/file/269471/transcript/78243/annotation/120","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eDECHOVITZ:\u003c/strong\u003e I don't remember reading it, it's so long ago.
