Her story was fascinating and provided many details about life there, how the Jews lived and the three types of Jews in India. She spoke of going to Catholic school and how her Jewish learning came from the home. Florence also described the difference between the Indian caste system and the class system, which is different. Class having to do with religion and economic status and caste only pertaining to Hindus. She described the synagogue and how her father was a shokhet, killing chickens, and her job as his assistant.
