In her more than 10year struggle with the cruel and heartless Soviet authorities. she has never faltered in her unceasing efforts to win her hearts desirepermission to leave the Soviet Union and join her family in Israel. Four years ago her struggle for freedom so angered the Soviet officialdom that Ida Nudel was sentenced to 4 years in exile in the bleak wastelands of Siberia. The Soviets charged her with "hooliganism." Her "crime" actually was to display a banner reading "KGB Give Me My Visa" from the balcony of her apartment in Moscow. Released from exile last March. Ida Nudel returned to Moscow still fighting to win her freedom. Her first act was to go to the Soviet officials to ask for her visa to Israel. This brought sharp retaliation from the Soviet authorities. They refused her permission to return to her Moscow apartment. and denied her permission to reside anywhere in Moscow.
