In 1949, he [Noam Chomsky] married linguist Carol Schatz. They
remained married for 59 years until her death from cancer in December
2008.[26] The couple had two daughters, Aviva (b. 1957) and Diane (b.
1960), and a son, Harry (b. 1967). With his wife Carol, Chomsky spent
time in 1953 living in HaZore'a, a kibbutz in Israel. Asked in an
interview whether the stay was "a disappointment" Chomsky replied,
"No, I loved it"; however, he "couldn't stand the ideological
atmosphere" and "fervent nationalism" in the early 1950s at the
kibbutz, with Stalin being defended by many of the left-leaning
kibbutz members who chose to paint a rosy image of future
possibilities and contemporary realities in the USSR.
