Ida refuses to give up hope. Known as the Guardian Angel of Prisoners of Conscience. she works tirelessly to obtain food. clothIng. and other valuables for Soviet Jews serving sentences in Soviet prison and labor camps. She bravely refuses to capitulate to Soviet demands and persistently challenges the authorities to grant her a visa. I am also participating in todays vigil on behalf of Vladimir and Efim. the twin sons of Riva Feldman who recently received permission to emigrate and is now living in Queens. NY. Rivas presence at todays rally is a personal and desperate plea that her sons be granted visas. They first applied for visas in 1970. Ten years later. Riva was granted permission. but she was forced to leave her sons behind.
