This picture was taken in 1951 at our dacha outside of Moscow. From left to right: my father Moses Zelbert, his second wife Anna Torgasheva, my son Evgeniy, my husband Simeon Gorelik, me and my aunt Anna Isaacova.

On the 2nd of December 1945 Simeon and I got married. In 1946 I gave birth to my son Evgeniy. I was still studying and writing my diploma. It was difficult: family, house chores. In 1948 I finished the institute and got a mandatory job assignment at the Moscow 2nd Bearing Plant not far from our house. I worked there for 12 years.

In 1951 my daughter Olga was born. Our children knew that they were Jews, and did not reject it, though they were not raised Jewish.
