"Pamela Braun Cohen's memoir, 'Hidden Heroes: One Woman's Story of Resistance and Rescue in the Soviet Union,' highlights the efforts of the Soviet Jewry movement and the challenges faced by Jews in the Soviet Union. Inspired by the Holocaust and the failure to save European Jews, Cohen became heavily involved in activism for Soviet Jewry, serving in leadership roles and advocating for their rights. The book explores the experiences of Jews behind the Iron Curtain, their struggle for identity, protests, and survival in labor camps. It also examines the tensions between grassroots organizations and Jewish establishment groups in assisting Soviet Jewry. Cohen's story demonstrates the power of commitment and the importance of collective action."
