Alfred Liberman
This is a picture of me, Alfred Liberman, taken in 1942 in Saratov, where I was sent to work during the War. On the back is written, 'To my dear parents from you son. Saratov. 5. VII. 42'. I was born in Kiev on September 30, 1914, one month after the beginning of the First World War, and here I have lived almost all my life, with the exception of the years of evacuation during the Second World War.When the War broke out, I was sent to the design organization of the Kiev military district. Because of this, I was exempt from the draft. In August 1941 I was transferred to the construction of military objects - plants and aerodromes at the Volga defenses (in the towns of Ulyanovsk, Saratov, Kuibyshev, etc). Through relatives I found out where my parents had been evacuated, and we kept up a correspondence. In one of my letters I sent them this photo.
