Rosa Averbuch
This is my father's older sister Rosa Averbuch. This photo was taken in Kiev in the 1910s. My father's younger sister Rosa, born in 1892, was raised in the family of her mother's childless sister, Rachel Benderskaya, in Kiev. Rosa would have become the heir of a significant fortune of the Benderskiy family, if it hadn't been for the October Revolution. The family's property was expropriated by the Soviet authorities. Rosa finished the Medical Faculty of Novorossiysk University and married Konstantin Chertkov who came from a well-known Russian family of merchants in Odessa. Aunt Rosa and her husband left for Moscow in the 1930s. Her husband worked as an advisor at the Ministry of River Transport of the USSR, Aunt Rosa was a doctor, a throat specialist. They didn't have children. Rosa's husband died in the late 1960s. Aunt Rosa died at the age of 92 in 1984.
