This organization was instituted by two outstanding Queen College students. Mark Himelfarb and Elynn Birnbaum. Their goal is to increase the awareness of fellow students and the community to the tragic plight of Soviet Jews. Soviet Jews suffer persecution and oppression of the cruelest sort under the Soviet Government. They are denied basic human rights and freedoms. such as the right to emigrate and practice their religion freely. They are forbidden by law from teaching the Hebrew language and observing religious holidays. The Queens College Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry has established an ambitious program. including the Refusenik of the Month Campaign.
