Re: Resources on Soviety Jewry and the Refuseniks My friend, and Sociology Professor at Vanderbilt University, Shaul Kelner, has written an excellent book - A Cold War Exodus. He's an excellent speaker - here's a youtube video of a book talk at the American Jewish HIstorical Society - https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/SpKLT0-S60w?si=R60yKE43qR93xTuh__;!!KGKeukY!xJz8udHQZP89XX2qOMvKMM3-LVPq0DwSsw6speJznaIGmC6kY5LXgpckbtACuNoqFxH1itnjZOuvNJm-gBVflaO4cWAZ$

I have a high school senior who is writing a research paper for her year-long honors history seminar on the Refuseniks and American Jewish support for Soviet Jewry. I have a few great sources, but I was wondering if anyone on this thread has suggestions for books, articles, or primary sources that they would recommend she look at. In particular, she is examining the Freedom Sunday March, as well as the impact of Jewish American activism on Refusenik immigration. Thank you!
