1907: Jewish family who immigrated from Lithuania to the US adopts Louis Armstrong, 7

One Jewish Carnofsky family who immigrated from Lithuania to the United States took pity on a 7-year-old boy and brought him to their home. He was initially given housework to feed this hungry child. There he stayed and spent the night in this Jewish family home, where for the first time in his life he was treated with kindness and tenderness.

When he went to bed, Mrs. Carnofsky sang him a Russian lullaby, which he sang with her. He later learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs. Co time this boy became the adopted son of this family.

The Carnofsky gave him money to buy his first musical instrument, as was customary in Jewish families. They genuinely admired his musical talent.

When he became a professional musician and composer, he used these Jewish melodies in compositions such as St. James Hospital and Go Down Moses.

A little black boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family who adopted him in 1907. And he spoke Yiddish with pride.

In memory of this family and for the rest of his life, he wore the star of David and said that in this family he learned to "live a real life and determination."

This little boy's name was Louis Armstrong.
