Reviews for Silent No More: Saving the Jews of Russia, the American Jewish Effort, 1967-1989 (Modern Jewish History)
No one in American Jewish history has limned the parallels between American Jewish concern for Jewish emigration in late Tsarist Russia with post-Holocaust American Jewish concern for Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union.
