Mark M. Barkan was born a few months
after the Russian Revolution on March 27, 1918, in St. Petersburg, Russia, to a
Jewish timber grower. The family soon fled, eventually settling near Paris,
France, in 1925. On September 5, 1939, Barkan landed in New York City,
receiving his citizenship papers a few years later. Barkan joined the U.S. Army
to fight in the China Burma India Theater (CBI) and interpret Russian in
Berlin. In 1943, he married Maxine Lubell in Birmingham, AL, and the couple had
two children, Kit and Fran.
