Born December 21, 1924 in Nadezhnaya agricultural colony. This is now the village of Nadiyne, Zaporizhzhia province.
He loved his childhood memories of Ukrainians, Jews, Germans, and Russians living together, and speaking their four languages.
He joined the army at age 16 and fought in World War II. Six years later, he returned safely.
The family was in Uzbekistan (Efim, Rebekka, Samuil, Ilya), at Bukhara or nearby Kogon. In fact Eva was born there in 1930. The move may be a consequence of the Russian Civil War after the Revolution, which was very hard on the Nadezhnaya colony—one third of the population left after severa attacks (discussed by Yakov Pasik).
Later, in 1942-42, 152,000 Jewish refugees from the western territories were also evacuated to Tashkent and went on to various locations in Uzbekistan. This is the subject of current research (Reference).
On his return Yitzhak enrolled in the Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers (Uzbekistan), and after graduation constructed locomotive stations in Siberia and in Kazakhstan. The Tashkent Institute had been founded in 1931 under a different name, and was renamed in 1937. In 2020 this Institute merged with three other units to form the Tashkent State Transport University.
Yitzhak and his wife followed their children in emigrating to Israel in 1992.
Yitzhak died in 2013.
