Brocha Mere Reznik and Motle Rozenbergas

These are my children, Brocha Mere Reznik and Motle Rozenbergas in Jurbarkas in the 1960s.

I got married in 1946. My daughter Brocha Mere was born in 1947 and my son Motle in 1948. As a student, my daughter met a good Jewish guy and married him. Her husband, Fayvel Reznik, also graduated from Vilnius University. Having finished the institute Mere and Fayvel were supposed to work as per mandatory job assignment in accordance with the Soviet legislation. My daughter worked as a German language teacher at school. She had taught for three years when she submitted the documents for immigration to Israel in the early 1970s, the peak of immigration of the Jews, when they were stigmatized at general meetings and fired. My daughter and Fayvel were fired and we helped them before they left. My daughter left for Israel. She is still living comfortably in Tel Aviv. She gave birth to two daughters.

My son married a beautiful Jewish girl, Ida Tregeraite, upon graduation from university. In 1975 when the Soviet power was in full swing, my children went under a chuppah in the synagogue, and my husband, a member of the Party, was also in the synagogue with me. My daughter-in-law became like a daughter to me. I love and cherish her. My son is working as an engineer in a design institute. Motle has two children.
