Valentina Mikhailovna Borok was born on 9 July 1931 in Kharkov, Ukraine. Her father, Michail Borok, had a PhD in chemistry and was an expert in material science. His genealogy can be traced back to Vilna Gaon (the leading scholar and sage of Lithuanian Jews in the eighteenth century). Her mother, Bella Sigal, was an economist. A top student, Bella began graduate school in the early 1920s, but was soon commissioned for a government job.

In the early 1930s she held one of the top positions in the ministry of economics of Ukraine. Because of her mother's position, Valentina had a (relatively) privileged early childhood. Yet, as a Jewish woman at such a high position in the government, Bella couldn't possibly have been spared the repressions of the late 1930s. However, unlike most others, she had a remarkable wisdom to foresee what was about to happen and the ability to act on it. In the beginning of 1937, she voluntarily resigned from her position (giving up the many perks that came with it) by citing family reasons, and
