Isaak complied and was sentenced to 7 years of hard labor. But even that torture was not sufficient to placate the Soviet authorities. They chose to give Isaaks life one more particularly vicious twist: They granted Isaaks wife and daughter permission to emigrate to Israel. Thus. Feiga and Aliza Shkolnik were presented with the impossible choice of giving up their one chance for freedom or abandoning Isaak as he was being shipped off to a labor camp. Feiga and Aliza did immigrate to Israel in December 1973. Isaak has since endured his sentence. but is now forced to live as a nonperson. Ignored by friends and neighbors under the orders of the authorities.
