Abstract

The Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry was launched at Columbia University in 1964 to enlist students to advocate for Soviet Jews. The students led large protest marches, pushed for legislation to aid Soviet Jews, and created educational materials. The Union of Councils for Soviet Jewry was the "adult" counterpart to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jews.
