Dora Rozenberg

This is my mother Dora Rozenberg. This photo was taken in Odessa in 1928. In this photograph my mother is in her ninth month of pregnancy. I was born just a few weeks later. In 1922, my mother entered Odessa Medical College and after graduating, she received a diploma in psychiatry. She met my father Mark Rozenberg in college and they got married in 1927. My mother was a psychiatrist in a neurological clinic. She was so busy at work, that she practically forgot that I had to go to school at the age of eight. In the late 1930s my parents joined the Party, but not for their convictions. They had to do it since they held official posts.
