Tag #153307 - Interview #78562 (Roza Levenberg)

In 1938 I finished school and entered Kiev State University. That was when I faced explicit anti-Semitism.  I wrote a very good composition for the written part of the entrance exam.  I made no mistakes. But everything was crossed out with red pencil, and I just received a satisfactory grade. At the oral exam, the examiner was an honest woman. She advised me to address the Rector and request that a commission review the way my written exam was graded. I did so. This commission reviewed my composition and gave it a good grade, and I was admitted to the University. Sill, I was admitted to the three year course,  instead of the five year course.
