- Married in 1950, Rebecca Fradkin and Anatoliy Usha immigrated to Chicago in 1996, following their daughter, Lydia. Usha is a survivor of the Siege of Leningrad (1941-1944) and belonged to an organization in Chicago of one hundred such survivors. Fradkin and Usha were the victims of anti-Semitism in the former Soviet Union, and both were compelled to change their field of employment due to discrimination.
