Tag #149464 - Interview #96338 (Ida Voliovich)

After his birth, I started work as a history teacher in the higher party school [24] of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Moldovan Communist Party. The ideology secretary of the Central Committee of the Party, my good acquaintance, whom I met in Buguruslan, helped me to get this job. It’s amazing, though, that they employed a non-partisan Jewish woman. This job was a great support to us. In 1946-1947, during the famine, when my mother-in-law went to stand in lines at five o’clock in the morning to get bread for our bread cards [25], I brought home rationed Party food packages including red and black caviar, ham, etc., besides common food products.
