How it all happened? In 1979 we applied for visa to get out of
USSR and got a refusal. Mother, Inna Kitrossky-Meiman married Naum Meiman of
blessed memory, known mathematician. Then she was diagnosed with cancer. Naum
decided to demand visa for her to get treatment in US. The fight continued until
1987, till then mother underwent several surgeries on the back of her neck. She
finally got permission to leave and went to US in January 1987. We all left
behind. Very soon, in February 1987, mother's life came to sudden finish. It
happened in Georgetown, DC. So, she was buried on Jewish cemetery in Washington.
Naum and I both wanted to go to funerals, and I unexpectedly got permission at
the very last moment. Concord plane allowed me to arrive the same moment when
funerals left to cemetery. My picture was in some US newspapers, see older
memorial page. After two weeks in US I returned to Moscow to Marina and three
kids, but soon we were let to go permanently to Israel. Naum arrived to Israel
later and died there.
On pictures above the cemetery, Inna's sister and my aunt Olga
