Description
Sorry friends: e-Galley not available for Kindle download.
This graphic novel biography is the story of Soviet Jewry “refusenik” and human rights activist Anatoly “Natan” Sharansky. Born in 1948 to a Jewish family in Ukraine, at that time part of the Soviet Union, he was arrested as a young man and later imprisoned for wanting to leave the Soviet Union and go to Israel. His struggle became the struggle of all Soviet Jews who wished to leave. With the help of his wife, many Jewish activists, and world leaders, he eventually succeeded in immigrating to Israel, paving the way for the release of other Soviet Jews who wished to live in freedom.

Mindy C, Educator
For the past few years I have been seeking an engaging way to teach my students about Soviet Jewry, and this is perfect. Using the popular medium of graphic novels, this book gives enough background information about the Soviet Union to teach kids, while engaging them in the true story of Sharansky. It reads like a popular novel students would pick up from the shelf. It is a welcome addition as either a classroom library book or a textbook. It could be used in any classroom to teach about non-violent change throughout the world.
