Ida works tirelessly to obtain food. clothing. and other valuable items for Soviet Jews serving sentences in Soviet prisons and labor camps. An extra shirt might keep a prisoner from freezing during the harsh Siberian winter. A piece of chocolate could bribe a guard to allow a relatives letter through the cell of a prisoners solitude.

Four years in a Siberian labor camp have taken their toll on Ida Nudel.
