Born in the Volgograd then of the Stalingrad region, in the family of the Volga German Andrei Goman.

Her father, an excellent baker, provided the family with well -being and prosperity. Tenderness, care, love surrounded Emma since childhood. But my mother fell ill, and soon she was gone. Five children are left in the hands of his father. For the first time, Emma saw the crying father, she so wanted to help him. So the mother always taught Emma-to regret the younger brother, sister, if they fell, bruised, cried, then the girl firmly hugged her father, and anxiety and fear crept in the heart for the first time.

A stepmother appeared in the family, three more children were born. The childhood is good that the child can quickly move away from troubles and losses, feels brighter. Emma had new responsibilities: she went to school. She studied willingly, managed to help the house. The war began. And everything has changed. In September, the crying of women who left their homes and economy for a long time, tried to gather something in nodes and suitcases for a long time.

The children scaredly watched what was happening, tightened the hands of the kids tightly, closely pressed against each other. The older children dragged the knots with their belongings, but almost everything exchanged for the products for the long road: the family was large, and the girl Anya was born on the road. Outside the windows of the car, trees flashed, it was raining, the sun rarely visible.

In Tyumen, they were dropped out and further drove a long time on the cart along the dirty road. So they ended up in the village of Chugunaevo, Nizhnetavdinsky district. They gave a dilapidated hut, almost a dugout. Father and his older brother Andrei managed to do something, and then they were taken to the labor in Nizhny Tagil. Mother went to work in the collective farm in the morning, and the older children were ruled in the house.

Emma was 11 years old, cooked something, illuminated with the younger ones, and also spun, knitted mittens and socks to local women. They were calculated by bread and potatoes. Emma Andreevna still loves to knit. Every summer with brother grazed cattle. So they survived. At school, however, I did not have to study, I lived with two classes all my life. At the end of the war, a father, sick and aged.

The brother died in Nizhny Tagil. Father healed, left for Tyumen, got a carpenter at the Mechanic plant. And then he transferred the family. They began to live in a subsidiary farm, in the suburbs of Tyumen. Emma immediately went to work in a greenhouse. The greenhouses were heated with firewood, so the girls and young women were sent to the forest for a harvest of firewood.

Emma liked the work, because in the middle of the winter tomatoes and cucumbers were shot. The sister got a job at the shoe factory, the brother remained working on a collective farm in Chugunaevo. In the city, at the factory he inserted frames on the second floor and fell out of the window. I got to the hospital, but I could no longer get up. Emma Andreevna still regrets her father.

And soon Emma was introduced to her future husband. A beautiful, working girl was long noted by the postman - the future Sillar of Emma Andreevna. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Well, why not a wife to her brother? She sent the address of Emma to the military unit where her brother served. Correspondence ensued. Having served, he took Emma to him, to the Golyshmanovsky district.

Their children were born there. We lived with my mother -in -law with a large friendly family. They worked, led the household, raised children. Emma has always been helped by labor hardening. She loved the early morning hours when the children are sleeping, you can remake a lot of household chores and go to work. Then the family decided to move, so they ended up in Novotarmansk.

The husband got a job in the Fire, Emma Andreevna - a cleaner at school. The family was given a room in a hostel, where they lived for 12 years. During this time, older children started their families, the husband died. Then the character appeared. She firmly decided to seek an apartment. And received it. Now Emma Andreevna lives alone, but every day one of the children visits her.

Almost all of them live in Novotarmansk. Often they call, children and grandchildren are worried about her mother and grandmother - she has a sick heart, because in recent years she had to bury children: Gregory and Igor were gone.
