Mr. Speaker. there have been many voices raised over these past 10 years to expose the plight of one extraordinary woman. Ida Nudel. who is serving a 4year sentence in exile in Siberia simply because she desired to emigrate to Israel. Over the years. I have also been corresponding with yet another brave woman. Elena Fridman. who is Ida Nudels sister and only living relative. Elena works day and night to secure justice for her sister. Her dedication and perseverance never cease to amaze me. and I dare say that she has almost singlehandedly been responsible for keeping the name of Ida Nudel in the congressional limelight and in the minds and hearts of all of us who are working to secure the release of this "Guardian Angel of Moscow." There have been so many horrifying acts of Soviet repression against Jews and other religious believers. that this particular case could perhaps be viewed by some as yet another atrocity that we will never see resolved. because of the patently unjust policies of the Soviet regime.
