Triumph Over Tyranny

Triumph Over The Heroic Campaigns that Saved 2,000,000 Soviet Jews, is the most complete account to date of their remarkable stories of struggle and success. It is a panorama of the history of the international Soviet Jewry movement and the fight for human rights in the former Soviet Union. It is the first book in English to reveal some of the clandestine activities of the Chabad movement to keep Judaism alive in the Soviet Union during the regimes of Stalin and Khrushchev. It also discloses the dramatic story of the Israeli government's secret missions to contact and aid Soviet Jews in their quest to emigrate from an oppressive regime and live as Jews in Israel. Quoting from newly translated KGB documents, the book shows how leaders in the Kremlin rationalized their brutal and repressive actions. Triumph Over Tyranny demonstrates how activists in the USSR and abroad, motivated by their realization that European Jews had been abandoned to suffer the horrors of the Holocaust, were determined to give meaning to the slogan Never Againand waged successful campaigns to save their brethren, the Jews of the Soviet Union who courageously refused to be victims.
