[78-L] Benny Goodman

[Kristjan Saag]

Benny Goodman was the son of Jewish immigrants from Europe, his father 
from Warsaw, Poland, his mother from Kaunas, Lithuania, who met in the US.
According to some biographic records Benny's mother never learned to 
speak or write English.
But what was Benny's mother tongue? What did the family speak at home? 
Yiddish? English? Polish? Lithuanian? Russian? (Both Lithuania and 
Poland was under Russian rule at the time when Benny's parents grew up).
I've searched the net without finding the answer. Anyone knows or wants 
to take a guess?
Kristjan
