Moshe Burla in the factory at Kamensk Uralski

Report an issue

This is me. 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. As a turner I worked in the department of  machine maintenance and repair in the factory which produced metals. This photo was taken when I was showing to the other factory workers a fire extinguisher and explaining to them how to use it.
