Little is known about their life. Ida Leonidowna Averbach was born as the daughter of Leonid Issaakowitsch Averbach and Sofia Mikhailovna Sverdlova. Her older brother was the later famous writer and literary critic Leopold Awerbach . She was the wife of Genrich Jagoda , head of the NKVD (Narodnyj Komissariat Vnutrennych Del - People's Commissariat of the Interior) of the Soviet Union and niece of the head of state Jakow Sverdlov (1885-1919).

Act

In 1936 the OGIS- Verlag published its work From Crime to Work ( Ot prestuplenija k trudu ), which was devoted to the facilities of labor camps in the USSR. The work was done by A. Ja. Wyschinski (1883–1954), the then public prosecutor of the USSR and provided with his foreword. Awerbach describes the Gulag as an ideal means to "transform the worst human material into fully-fledged, active, conscious builders of socialism [...] The change of a hostile and unstable consciousness [...] succeeds best when one concentrates the work on gigantic objects which amaze the imagination with their size.
