Tag #153280 - Interview #94182 (Rachil Lemberg)

Lev’s older daughter finished three years of the Pedagogical College. She went to work at the local primary school. I went to work as a teacher in a kindergarten. The rest went to work in a kolkhoz. Lev became director of the kolkhoz farm and he helped his daughter to get the position of assistant accountant at the farm. His wife Golda stayed at home. It was cold. There were frozen potatoes and cabbages left in the fields. We picked potatoes for the winter. It tasted awful, but we had no choice. They were supposed to pay for work in the kolkhoz with bread, but it was rarely delivered to the village and there was little of it. Sometimes Golda could stand in line for a day and came home with no bread. Almost a year passed. Lev and his wife were like parents taking care of me.
