Lina Kichnevskaia Edmonton, AB
I met Lina at Jewish Family Services in Edmonton, where part of the mandate is to aid Holo- caust Survivors. She is originally from Belarus and was a Medical Doctor. Tatiana Kastner, JFS’ gerontological social worker, translated Lina’s Russian to me and my English to her as needed. I asked Lina if going to medical school was difficult in those days, as a woman. She responded that going to medical school was difficult in those days as a Jew.
