| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism | | | | Dates: | 1964-1977 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism is a Cleveland, Ohio, organization founded in 1963, by three NASA scientists, to help Soviet Jews to emigrate and to monitor anti-semitism in the USSR. The movement spread to other cities in North America and led to the formation of the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews to coordinate the local groups. The collection consists of photographs and slides of individual and group portraits of Soviet Jews and views of exhibits, rallies, and other events relating to the movement to publicize the plight of Soviet Jews. Also included are photographs taken by western tourists in the Soviet Union, the contents of an unbound scrapbook on Jewish life in Czarist Russia, and prints of microfilm transmitted from the Soviet Union in the 1970s, including a diary, a police summons, and a statement by Soviet Jewish refuseniks. | | | | Call #: | PG 287 | | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism -- Photograph collections. | Refugees, Jewish -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews, Soviet -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs. | Jews -- United States -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs. | Jews -- Soviet Union -- Social conditions -- Photographs. | Refuseniks -- Photographs. | Antisemitism -- Soviet Union -- Photographs. | Soviet Union -- Emigration and immigration -- Photographs.
