Khaimovich was called to the OVIR office.
Khaimovich, I want to know why you have decided to leaver
the country,” said the OVIR official.
“No, no, you’ve got it all wrong. I don’t want to leave, my wife does.”
“So divorce and let her emigrate by herself.”
“Yes, but…it’s not quite that simple. It’s not only my wife that want to leave but also her mother.”
“What’s the problem? Let those bloody Zionists go. We don’t need them here do we, Khaimovich?”
“Yes, well…but there is also my wife’s brother’s family
and then there are my wife’s in-laws and their other children.”
“So, they’ll go, and you and I will remain to build
communism."
“But there’s a problem.”
“What?”
“They can’t leave without me. I’m the only Jew among them.”
