Born in 1937 in the village of Bergomitz, the district of Tshernovitzy, to a traditional Jewish family. The family was sent in 1941 to a concentration camp (Kopaigorod, the district of Vinnitsa). Starting from 1957 Lilia had constantly applied for an exit visa to Israel, but was always refused. In May 1969 after the now routine application she was demoted in her job, crossed off the waiting list for a new apartment, and in December of 1969 was arrested. In February 1970 she was sentenced to 2.5 years imprisonment in the Gulag.
