R. Gary (1914–1980) –  prancūzų romanistas, gimęs Rusijoje, o
vaikystę ir jaunystę praleidęs Lietuvoje. Rašytojas išgarsėjo
romanais „Gyvenimas dar prieš akis“, „Aušros pažadas“ ir
kt.------- jei jau tokia neaiški tapatybė, tai visada kyla įtarimas, kad
kilmė žydiška::::Gary was born in Vilnius under the name Roman Kacew
(Yiddish: קצב, Russian: Рома́н Ка́цев).[1][2] In his books
and interviews, he presented many different versions of his parents'
origins, ancestry, occupation and his own childhood. His mother, Mina
Owczyńska (1879—?),[3][4] was a Jewish actress from Švenčionys and his
father was a businessman Arieh-Leib Kacew (1883—1942) from Trakai.[5][6]
Arieh Leib abandoned the family in 1925 and remarried. When Gary was
fourteen, he and his mother moved to Nice, France. Gary studied law, first
in Aix-en-Provence and then in Paris. He learned to pilot an aircraft in
the French Air Force in Salon-de-Provence and in Avord Air Base, near
Bourges............Tai iš Wikipedios. Panašu, kad Rusijos Garis kojos
nebuvo įkėlęs.
