In this important new study of Soviet Jewry, Yaacov Ro'i examines
their struggle for emigration from the establishment of the State
of Israel to the outbreak of the Six-Day War. Using a range of
personal interviews, he explores how Jewish self awareness arose
both as a result of the founding of the State of Israel and as a
product of the Holocaust. Local groups developed and sustained
Jewish cultural interests and their Jewish identity in the face of
popular anti-Semitism and Soviet policy. The author continues by
analyzing the campaign conducted in the West and mobilized by the
Israeli government on behalf of Soviet Jewish rights as a whole and
emigration in particular. Ro'i convincingly argues that despite the
efforts of Soviet Jewish groups to flourish in a steadfastly
anti-Semitic system, by 1967 most had accepted that the only way of
implementing their Zionist aspirations was to emigrate to Israel.
However, without the extensive groundwork carried out in the period
1948-1967, it is doubtful if the mass emigration of the 1970s would
have been possible.
