Parents of my husband: Nus Alterovich Sapozhnikov and his wife Freida Borukhovna. The photo was made in Lipovets in 1914.
His father, Nus Alterovich Sapozhnikov, was a Red guerilla during the Civil War. He had a surgery before the war and his kidney was removed. He worked as a manager in Lavra (the largest and the most beautiful Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine). His mother was Freida Borukhovna Linetskaya. She was a housewife.
Grandmother, Frida Borisovna, Fima's mother, spoke Yiddish better than Russian, and the Germans understood her somehow.
But very soon Fima's father died. He got infected at the barber's and he had blood poisoning. He was only 54 years old. He was a very good man, an extremely kind man. He called me his daughter.
