"I hope to make her more confident and comfortable. I know they came here for us, so I try to help." She laughs at this role reversal. "And now I found a job and my parents go to school." Rozenblyum works full time at a warehouse filling orders for women's accessories, a job she found through the Jewish Vocational Center. She's still adjusting, however, to being more Jewish in Kazakhstan, her isolated family did not even celebrate religious holidays. "It's still hard to go to temple," she says.

"I went once and I cried." Other than that, however, she has found adjusting to Bay Area life easy. 'The people are friendly," she says. "Some people say the smile doesn't mean something here, that it's just cultural. But for me I come here and see (those smiles) and it's very warm, very bright" body killed them, I guess." The family made a pilgrimage to Moscow to ask for refugee status from the U.S. Embassy.

"My parents knew if they stayed there and became pensioners, nobody could help them. "One time I met an old woman. She didn't have anyone to talk to and she told me she had bought just a gallon of milk for the whole week, and the electricity went off, and the milk went bad. She had only some bread until the next week." Perhaps to ward off such images, Rozenblyum's family has stacked two towering piles of fruit in the window overlooking Ocean Beach. A dizzying array of teddy bears guards this bounty in the bedroomliving room that Rozenblyum shares the with her 6-year-old niece.

But while she still sleeps in a little girl's room, coming to America has meant growing up in a hurry. Because her English is so good, she finds herself parenting her parents in some ways. She is research- Coming here meant growing up in hurry upside down in the newly independent republic of Kazakhstan. Now people had to speak Kazakh not Russian to get jobs. Rozen-blyum'8 father's career was blocked.

Soon the family joined a growing exodus, hastened by the closure of the town's reason for existence: a giant asbestos mine. Ethnic Germans went to Germany, Russians returned to Russia. The town lost 11 of its 45,000 citizens every day, says Rozenblyum, who feared losing her friends but had little use for the city itself, despite being bom there. "I didn't like it It was very gray and everybody was angry." She opens a brochure from the asbestos mine and displays a centerfold of an urban lake dotted with swans. "We never had swans," she says.

"It never looked like this. Some- Millbrae City Hall 621 Magnolia Ave. Millbrae, CA 94030 (415)259-2334 Police: 259-2300 Fire: 259-2400 Mayor: Daniel F. Quigg Council: Ernest A. Andrews, Mark Church, Doris Morse, Denis A.
