Rozalia Akselrod whith her mother and cousin Lyusya

From left to right: my cousin Lyusya, the daughter of mother's brother Abram. Now, Lyusya lives in Israel. In the center is my mother, Yevgenia Akselrod (nee Weber). I am on the right.

Uncle Abram, born in 1882, spent his whole life in Kharkov working at the factory of artistic products as a molder. He died in 1961. Uncle Abram had two daughters, Lyusya and Rosa. Lyusya now lives in Israel, while Rosa died in 2000. None of his daughters had children. 

In 1961, we received a two-room apartment. But my  son Sasha soon moved to Moscow, so only the four of us lived there. I worked as a lecturer at the ‘Knowledge’ society and as a consultant in universities and research institutes. Soon, my parents began to get ill with different diseases. My husband and I were working, so we hired a woman who cooked for us and took care of my parents. My father died in 1969. My mother died in 1972. Both of them died in full consciousness, without any sclerotic phenomena.
