This photograph was taken in Moscow in 1965, when my son Alexander (he is on the left in the photo) was a cadet of the Higher Naval Radio Electronics School. Later he left that school for the College of Communication and graduated from it. Then he worked as a businessman.

Now our sons have families, children, and I have got grandchildren. I lived with my second husband for 28 years. At the age of 70 he still worked. He died in 1988 from a stroke.

During my life with my second husband we always celebrated Pesach and remembered Yom Kippur. At home we had matzah, gefilte fish, and chicken. Of course we did not observe tradition strictly, but tried to celebrate holidays somehow.
