Louis Fishberg was my grandfather . From a village, Konstatina outside of Kiev. He and my mother Selma Fishberg performed together in New York. He often played a Bubbe and was said to be talented like Bela Lugosi . He would bring us props when we were small children in Miami , Florida. My Grandmother, Grandfather, and my mother all sewed and tailored clothes including lingerie. I would love to hear more about my family. They spoke Yiddish and I usually understood a little with all the hand signs. I have a small notice in my computer about a play where he appeared on the weekends.
