This small collection consists of 6 documents produced during the mid 1970s by the Student Struggle for Soviety Jewry: The
Grigory Goldstein Papers; The Jews of Ilyinka; Save My Brother From Siberia!; "Farewell My Dear Children"; a reprint from
the Congressional Record, July 2, 1976; and Hellhole Report II.
The Student Struggle for Soviety Jewry (or SSSJ) was active from 1964 to 1991, and was founded shortly after the March on
Washington and in the same spirit of the Civil Rights Movement. Its mission was to free Russian Jews. It held demonstrations,
lobbied Congress, and disseminated information about Russian refuseniks (Jews denied exit visas from Russia) and prisoners
of conscience. The latter mainly took the form of personal stories that it was hoped would help American Jews understand
the plight of millions of Russian Jews. The collection contains some representative examples of these personal stories. (Source:
