Tag #149573 - Interview #102205 (David Wainshelboim)

Life was hard: the stipend was too low for adequate living. I worked night shifts at a hospital. This was the period of the outburst of state level anti-Semitism: the murder of Mikhoels [25], disbanding of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee [26] and struggle against rootless cosmopolitans [27]. This affected the heart of each Jewish person and I was very upset about it, but I can’t say it affected my own life in any way. I studied well.
