This video explores the journey of Ida Nudel, a dedicated Soviet economist who transformed into a pivotal figure advocating for Jewish freedom in the USSR. Initially a loyal citizen, her resolve was fortified by a plane hijacking incident, making her a prominent member of the Refusenik movement. Nudel became a symbol of Jewish resilience as she battled the KGB not only for her personal freedom but also for the freedom of many Jews hindered by the Iron Curtain. Despite facing exile and significant challenges, her subsequent emigration to Israel highlighted her enduring spirit and passion for advocating Jewish rights.
