RESCUE: A HISTORY OF THE SOVIET JEWRY MOVEMENT Gal Beckerman Wednesday, November 2, 2011 6:30 PM Free Admittance AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II, 3 million Jews were trapped inside the Soviet Union. They lived a paradox unwanted by a repressive Stalinist state yet forbidden to leave. When They Come for Us, We'll Be Gone: The Epic Struggle to Save Soviet Jewry is the astonishing and inspiring story of their rescue. Author Gal Beckerman will talk about the Soviet Jewry movement as a story of redemption, both for the Soviet Jews and for the Americans who fought for their freedom. He will discuss the struggle's long-term impact on both American and Soviet Jews. GAL BECKERMAN is a reporter at the Forward. He was a longtime editor and staff writer at the Columbia Journalism Review and also has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and The Wall Street Journal, among other publications. He was a fellow at the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Berlin and the recipient of a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
