Growing up Jewish in Europe

This interview discusses growing up in Soviet Russia, strating around the beining of the Revolution until the 1970s when Samuel and Elka left Russia for the United States. It hightlights their careers in economics (Elka) and engineering (Samuel), though they immigrated after they retired. They mention an adopted child (children?) but their names are unclear. Hard to understand at times, probably due to the subjects learning English later in life, however most of it is legible.
