In fore ground are Lynne Halpern and Nina Radomyslsky, holding six-month- old Dina. He looked haggard; his face an ashen gray. Sitting in the armchair, arms crossed, hands grasping skin just above the elbows, shoulders hunched. You would have thought that he was grieving for the recent dead, or perhaps that he had just returned from the labor camps, still thinking about his fellow Jews with sentences yet to be completed. Five minutes into the conversation, the transfor mation is noticeable. Before too long, in front of the visitors, the melancholy withdraws leaving in its place a vibrant, animated, ex cited and excitable man, anxious to talk about his experiences as a refusnik, about the strong bonds that tie the Jews of freedom with the Jews of the Soviet Union. The change that lifted joy up through the recesses of determina tion and stolid hope in the heart and soul of Emmanuel Smelian- sky—refusnik for 15 years—was experienced by the 20 other refusnik families that were visited by 18 members of Atlanta’s Jewish com munity. “Every advocate within the Soviet Jewry movement stresses the im portance of visiting refusniks,” says Jack Horowitz, chairman of the Worldwide Jewish Affairs Sub committee of the Atlanta Jewish Federation’s Community Relations Committee. “Having spent eight days, in Leningrad and in Moscow, sharing in the life struggle with these brave men, women and chil dren, we know that it is vitally important for these visits to be a regular activity of the Jewish communities of the free world.” Sponsored by the Federation, this mission to the Jews of the Soviet Union had a profound effect on the lives of all who participated. “Inna Begun does not know where her husband is,” remark Judith and Elliott Cohen. “He has been serving a seven-year prison sen tence. Now 54, he has been shuttled from labor camp to labor camp; he is in extremely poor physical con dition, and he has had no contact with his wife. Yoshif and Inna Begun are suffering because he dared to teach Hebrew.” The tension and pressures that the wives of the Prisoners-of-Con- science must endure are relieved a little when visitors meet with them to lend moral and political support. Anna Lifshitz, whose husband Vladimir is serving a three-year prison sentence—he is a Hebrew teacher—was visited by Howard and Kathy Sachs and Bob Sherman. Natasha Ratner, whose husband Alexey Magarik is serving a three- year prison sentence—he is a He brew teacher—was visited by Bob Fischbach, Bob Rinzler, and Glenda and David Minkin. Galina Zelichonok, whose hus band Roald is serving a three-year prison sentence—he, too, is a He brew teacher—was visited by Elliott and Judith Cohen and David Sar- nat. Galina sent out an impassioned plea for help for her imprisoned husband. She asked that telegrams be sent to Roald at his prison camp on the occasion of his 50th birthday: 487010 USSR Chimkentskay Area Turkestan 10 Establish I. Ch. 167/5 Otrjad 7, Brigada 7 Zelichonok, Roald I. Tanya Edelshtein, whose husband Yuli is serving a three-year prison sentence—he is also a Hebrew teacher—was visited by Jack Horo witz, Jack and Lynne Halpern, and Noah Levine. “Tanya recorded a message for us to bring back to Georgia,” says Lynne Halpern. “This message is a plea to all of us to help save Yuli. He is deathly ill in a prison hospital, suffering from injuries sustained when in the labor camp. Tanya fears that the doctors will send him back to Siberia to complete the remaining year and a half of his prison sentence even though he is not fully recovered from a broken femur, a urethra operation, and the after-effects of food poisoning. Tanya implores us to write immediately to the Deputy Minister of the Interior and request that Yuli not be sent back to the labor camp.” The address is: Deputy Minister of the Interior Bogaturev Ul.
