Vera Doroshenko’s sister’s Rosanna’s friend Lisa Galperina

Report an issue
This is Rosanna's friend Lisa Galperina that perished during the war. Photo taken in Kiev in 1937. Rosanna's friend Lisa Galperina also died in the partisan unit. After the war I met Yura Zhigulevich, her co-student at the law department in the University. He told me that he was in the same partisan unit as Lisa and they got into a cordon. Lisa shot herself, but he was captured by the Germans. Later he spent yeas in the Stalin's camps for being a captive of the Germans. Yura was blamed for betraying Lisa for a long time. He told me that his only fault was that he hadn't been strong enough to shoot himself like Lisa did.
