I am Leonid Poberezhskiy an extramural student of the Moscow University.
After the war we knew there was anti-Semitism in Kiev in our everyday life and in the official institutions. I realized that it would be impossible for me to enter the university. Jews were practically not accepted there. Therefore in 1947 I entered extramural History Department in Moscow University. By that time I quit my job at the plant and worked at the library of the Academy of Sciences, in the department of microfilms. I went to Moscow to take my exams.
I also was in good relationships with the schoolchildren. They often came to my home. They remembered me. I was so happy that many children were coming here. Recently my first schoolchildren were on a visit here. Over 40 yeas passed since that time. They are all pensioners. But I remember them. 4 or 6 of them became Doctors of Sciences, quite a few of them worked as directors at schools and many work in Germany.
