Hello dear Amy and John!

Thank you very much for your dedication to Jewish history and real attempt to preserve at least in the pictures what is left from the generation of Russian Jewry! I admire your persistent and patience by taking so many pictures and all that with the friendly smile!  I like my picture! Considering – I’ll be 87 years” young”  at November 15 – not bad!!! Thanks for the generosity.

I survive Holocaust, but my Grandparents and all relative who left in Odessa – was killed by German. It was not simple to escape… My childhood ended at 1941 when the war start.  And the antisemitism after we came back to Odessa and Stalin was in fury by the fact that some Jew survive…

I’m telling you all that to prove the good job of yours to make me look as you did! Wish a lot of interesting meetings and success at every step of your Honorable deed!

Best wishes and great respect,
