Tag #128782 - Interview #78104 (Evgenia Ershova)

In the early 1950s during the outburst of anti-Semitic campaigns and during the period of the Doctors' Plot [9] my Uncle Veniamin was arrested and sent into exile. At this time, my history teacher's attitude towards me became abusive. He gave me lower marks and asked me questions that were beyond our school program to give me a '2'[this is almost the lowest grade]. I guess he knew that my uncle had been arrested and this explains his attitude towards me.
