I clandestinely met Dr. Benjamin Levitch. his charming wife. Tanya. and his two sons. Yevgeny and Alexander. During this moving encounter. the Levitch family poured out their heart regarding the harassment and suffering they were undergoing from the Soviet authorities as a result of their wish to emigrate to Israel. They particularly emphasized the value of protests in the free world as a means of persuading the Communists to permit Jewish emigration. In view of the eminence of Dr. Levitch as an electrical chemist and as a member of the Soviet Academy of Science. the Communists were reluctant to allow him to leave.
