We met her sister and through her, Ida Nudel became alive to us. Elena Friedman, the sister of Ida Nudel, today spends her every day totally devoted to arousing world support in order to get her sister to Israel. The Soviet Jewry Committee of the Atlanta Jewish Federation will take a step towards that end when they honor her in absentia at the Oct. 14 Simchat Torah March. Ida, her sister Elena and Elena's husband, Arieh, all applied for visas to leave the Soviet Union. Elena and Arieh’s visas came through in 1972, a year after they applied. Ida's did not. She encouraged her sister and brother- in-law to leave, realizing that if they didn't, they would lose their chance. Elena says “from that moment on I have not had a day of peace.” Elena told us that much of what she knows about her sister she has learned from strangers who have called to talk of her sister’s strength and fortitude. Those who called refer to Ida as their “angel of mercy,” the mother of the Prisoners, and some have begun referring to Ida as the “last of the Just.” Ida Nudel was born in the , Crimea in 1931. Neither her parents nor her grandparents were religious. Her father was a member of the Communist Party during her youth in Moscow. As Elena today says: “Her family had totally assimilated. But in Russia you always know you’re a Jew. They never let you forget it.” As the years went on, Ida began to yearn to understand why she was ATTENTION customers!

Early in 1971 she decided to risk her existence in the Soviet Union and apply to leave for Israel. Her visa was denied. The KGB said she had access to state secrets. She had been working as an economist, planning costing on a new insecticide factory. After Elena and her husband left for Israel, Ida increased her involvement in the protest movement. On June 1, 1978, International Children’s Day, a group of Russian Jewish women planned a quiet demonstration with their children to demand visas to Israel. The KGB found out and all of the women were restricted to their apartments. Not wanting the KGB to think they had broken her spirit, she hung a banner on her balcony saying in Russian, “KGB give me a visa to Israel.” Men in the next apartment broke the banner. She then drew a large Star of David and placed it on her window. They broke the window and Ida was arrested for “vandalism and malicious hooliganism.” Her trial was like that of all other Soviet refuseniks. She was sentenced to four years of exile in Siberia. Early in July of 1978 she was shipped to Siberia on a cattle train Tilled with women criminals. The trip took a month, at which time Ida was subjected to constant beatings. When she finally arrived at her destination, the village of Krivosheyno in Siberia, she found herself in a hostel with sixty male criminals, ex-convicts considered too dangerous to be allowed back into society, whose job was to clear the surrounding swampland. Elena told us how desperate she was over her sister’s situation. There are reports Ida is very ill, but no one knows whether she is getting any medical attention. Her sister worries that Ida cannot survive another winter in Siberia. When Elena was in Atlanta she urged us all to join with her in a campaign to free her sister. The Soviet Jewry Committee of the Atlanta Jewish Federation will take one step in that campaign when they present a plaque in absentia to Ida Nudel at the October 14 Simchat Torah Freedom March. The plaque will be delivered to the Soviet Embassy in Washington and maybe Ida will learn of it. For gestures such as this are all the hope prisoners such as Ida have to live on. Were Ida to be in Atlanta on October 14 we might be privileged to hear the words she has written in her many protest letters...“1 am fortunate because I add a page to the history of Jewish resistance, because my efforts have helped thousands of Jews to leave this barbarous country, because 1 have helped Prisoners of Zion to keep spirit and survive in the hell which you cannot imagine...But if our suffering will not force every one of you to rush to help us, then it is in vain. We believe our suffering is not for nothing, and this belief saves us from despair. 1 believe that someday I will walk up the steps of an El Al aircraft and my suffering and my tears will remain in my memory only, and my head will be full of triumph. God grant me that it will happen Soon.” ; STAFF®FOOD#EQUIPMENT®EXPERIENCE ; ' / /7 J <zJ\onniz l Catctcid * \ | * * ‘FOR ALL OCCASIONS’ 1 In Town...Out Of Town ■ J At any location of your choice: ! | Indoors and/or Outdoors i Kosher Catering is A vailable \ ! i RONNIE SPETALNICK ; 255-7824 ; COME VISIT!
