Nina Liampert

Nina Liampert, my cousin on my father’s side. The photo was taken in 1930s in Kazan. She gave me this photo as a memory when I went to evacuation in 1941.

During the war we were in evacuation in Kazan [1,500 km from Berdichev]. I had relatives there: Avrum and Nina, the children of my father's sister Riva. We stayed with them for a short while. Nina was a very beautiful and kind woman. She made a bath for our son and gave us a meal. Nina and I corresponded for many years after the war. She died in the middle of the 1950s.
