Popularization note

The board shows Abraham Rotfarb's attitude to the family's way of earning money. In his autobiography, on which the comic book is based, we read: And it is strange that my work, although it counts as light, is more tiring and exhausting than hard physical one. He asks himself: Where to go? ... What to do? What to think? […] What's next?. He is bitterly thinking: You may be offended [...] because you have no prisons to punish those who for nothing [...] insulted and beat you. The comic book creator presented these Abraham’s considerations as follows - the boy looks at the windows and instead of his own sees the snout of a lost dog. The recollection motif that appears at the bottom of the board: wandering the streets, Abraham often meets a friend with whom they were inseparable in their childhood. He wrote about it in his autobiography: “Today I often see Moszek on the street. We look at each other, but as if we don't know each other or are angry with each other. He's a poor man; he wears rags and is said to be a porter”. In his autobiography Abraham states bitterly: Ah, how far we are from real life, from the broad social world, from its lively pulse!
