Moshe Burla on an excursion with co-workers in Kamensk Uralski

In this photograph I am with other co-workers in Kamensk Uralski. On that day we went on an excursion to the river in the town. The picture was taken in 1970.

In 1959 I went to Kamensk Uralski, a mountain area. There at the factory 10,000 workers, worked 24 hours, three shifts of eight hours. I got a good position as a turner and I climbed the ladder to the point that a year later my portrait was hanging at the entrance as the best worker of the factory. 

I took part in many activities such as athletics, the chorus of the factory, and at one time, with the secretary of the party, we were singing in Greek, in Spanish, in Italian.
