   Abstract:
   This interview reveals much about life for a child of “ enemies of the people.” Both of Boris Faifman’s parents, Communist believers who chose to emigrate to the USSR, were arrested precisely because of their foreign origins. As was true for many children of “enemies,” as a small child Faifman became an orphan, and was treated as an enemy himself. Though he had few memories of his parents, he bore the consequences of their groundless arrests for his entire life. Bitter about the injustices he suffered, he bemoans the fact that he has several different death certificates for each of his parents, but not a single grave to visit.
