Tag #153213 - Interview #94151 (Rimma Leibert)

My father Boris Leibert finished a political military school and served in Tbilisi, Georgia, where he was chief of political department of the garrison in Tbilisi. In 1932 he went to a military recreation house in Odessa. He met my mother and proposed to her almost two weeks after they met. My mother returned my father’s feelings. They went to grandfather Abram in Kerch where they had a small wedding. They registered their marriage in a registry office in Kerch.  My father didn’t even want to hear about any Jewish wedding or traditions: he was a convinced communist.  After the wedding my father and mother went to Tbilisi where my father was on service.
