She has endured 4 years of hardship in a remote Siberian village. living among hostile neighbors and under primitive conditions. Her health has deteriorated during her forced isolation. for the past 4 years. she has been virtually cut off from her family and her many friends in the Soviet Union and the West. The "crime" for which Ida was subjected to such harsh punishment was her 1971 application to emigrate to Israel and her selfless efforts in behalf of those Soviet Jews imprisoned for trying to emigrate. Tragically. in 1978. Ida joined the ranks of those she had so valiantly sought to help.
