The harassment of Ida Nudel continues unabated. Ida Nudel has been a woman of conscience and compassion. Many of those who finally received permission to emigrate told of her valiant efforts to support them through their tribulations. Despite the danger of official retaliation. she provided food. clothing. and reading material for Jews who had been sent to labor camps. Now that Ida needs help. we have an obligation to appeal to the conscience of our own Nation and to try to move the conscience of the Soviet authorities. Ida Nudel has been denied basic human rights. She was first denied the right of emigration. Soviet authorities have violated the Helsinki agreements providing for the reunification of families. She was also denied the freedom of speech and unjustly sentenced after being denied the right to a fair trial. Finally. she is presently being denied the freedom of residing where she chooses. I ask the Soviet authorities why this vicious harassment of a single woman is necessary and request them to permit her to emigrate to Israel.*
