Caesar Katz was only four years old in 1941. His mother died in childbirth, his father, after being reported by the caretaker of the apartment block where the Katz family lived, was shot at Babyn Yar, and his nanny Anastasiya Fomina took care of Caesar. She was hiding with a boy in ruined basements until she heard about the orphanage at 19, Predslavinskaya Street, in which, according to rumors, there were already many Jewish children who had escaped the Babyn Yar.
