Biography
Elena Osipovna Malakhovshaya was born on July 3, 1934 in Odessa. Her birth name was Rosalia Osipovna Laikhter. She lived through the German bombing of Odessa’s port, which resulted in a widespread fire. Members of her family, along with other Jewish residents, then sought shelter within the catacombs underneath Odessa. In 1941, during the Nazi occupation of Odessa, Elena Osipovna was forced into the “Slobodka” Ghetto. After the War, Elena went to art school in Odessa, and later became a ceramic artist. She changed her name from Rosalia to Elena and later immigrated to Israel. She did not publish her story until 1997.
