For many years, Jews in the USSR were denied the right to leave the country and move to Israel. And in the country itself, they were deprived of basic national rights, including any opportunity to learn about Jewish history and culture. The response to this policy of cultural genocide was a struggle to leave for Israel and a growing sense of national consciousness. There were underground Hebrew classes, seminars on the basics of Judaism and the history of Zionism. The Soviet authorities tried to suppress the Jewish movement through repression. However, the resilience of the strong-willed, albeit “weak and few” Jews, supported by Jews around the world, proved stronger than the all-powerful KGB.
