Mrs. Gravitis. Yes.

Mr. Belin. And remained independent until Russia annexed these three Baltic countries around 1939, or so?

Mrs. Gravitis. 1940. In 1913, I got married.

Mr. Mamantov. Do you need a very detailed story on her life?

Mr. Belin. No.

Mrs. Gravitis [through interpreter]. I lived until 1950 in Ventspils, and then I and my husband were evacuated to St. Petersburg or Petrograd at that time. This was in 1915.

Mr. Belin. Now it is Leningrad?

Mrs. Gravitis. Leningrad.

Mr. Belin. Let me ask you this. Did you stay in either Russia or Latvia from that time on until after—for how long?

Mrs. Gravitis. From 1915 to 1919, in Petrograd. Then in 1919 I and my daughter came to Latvia. My husband remained in Petrograd. They didn't let him out.
