> 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
