A good story The Jewish Karnofsky family, who immigrated from Lithuania to the United States, took pity on a 7-year-old boy and brought him to their home. Initially, he was 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. Karnowski sang him a Russian lullaby, which he sang with her. Later he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs. Over time, this boy became the adopted son of this family. The Karnofskis gave him money to buy his first musical instrument, as was customary in Jewish families. They sincerely admired his musical talent. Later, when he became a professional musician and composer, he used these Jewish melodies in such compositions as "St. James' Hospital" and "Go Down, Moses". A little black boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family that adopted him in 1907. And he spoke Yiddish fluently 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.
