Historical Note

The National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ) served as a coordinating agency for major national Jewish organizations and local community groups in the United States. The NCSJ acted on behalf of Soviet Jewry through public education and social action, which aimed to stimulate all segments of the community to maintain interest in the problems of Soviet Jews. To this end the NCSJ also published reports, memoranda, and pamphlets and sponsored special programs, organized public meetings, projects and forums.

The National Conference on Soviet Jewry was created in June 1971 as a result of the reorganization of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry (AJCSJ, 1964-1971). The NCSJ was devised to be an umbrella organization; a structure representing the effort of the main Jewish communal organizations to aid Soviet Jews and to attract the attention of the U.S. government to the plight of Jews in the USSR. Its main functions included development of planning and strategy on behalf of Soviet Jews, coordination of the work of all constituent members of NCSJ and assignment of particular tasks and the collection and distribution of information on Soviet Jews, refuseniks and prisoners of conscience (POC) and Soviet policies towards them. Refuseniks were Soviet Jews who applied for emigration but were refused exit visas and had to remain in the Soviet Union, usually losing their regular jobs and being able to find only unqualified menial jobs. Prisoners of conscience (POC) were Jews and non-Jews imprisoned by the Soviet authorities for their beliefs, usually under some fabricated criminal charge. Dissidents were members of the broader democracy movement in the USSR which included both Jews and non-Jews.

The precursor of NCSJ, the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry (AJCSJ) came into being as a result of the efforts of individual activists and community leaders, and its emergence may be considered as the beginning of the American Soviet Jewry Movement (ASJM). However, the Movement formally "commenced" with an event, the Conference on the Status of Soviet Jews, held October 21, 1963, prepared by Moshe Decter, editor of the New Leader magazine, and (behind the scenes) the Israeli Liaison Bureau. The Conference took place at the Carnegie Foundation and its sponsors and participants were Saul Bellow, Martin Luther King Jr., Sen. Herbert Lehman, Bishop James Pike, Walter Reuther, Norman Thomas, Robert Penn Warren. This initial assembly led to the establishment of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry with a more formal assembly a year later, on April 5-6, 1964. April 1964 also saw the birth of the militant student movement, the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ) following a march in New York of Columbia University students to the Soviet UN mission.

The leadership and coordination work by AJCSJ were provided on a rotating, part-time basis between member organizations, and in 1966-1970 its staff coordinating agency was the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC), which provided full-time executive and clerical personnel, housing and other direct administrative overhead and expense costs. The focus in the early years of the AJCSJ and the Soviet Jewry Movement was to obtain equal rights for Soviet Jews as an ethnic and religious minority within the Soviet Union. Eventually the focus shifted to the right for Soviet Jews to emigrate.

The situation for Soviet Jews deteriorated in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The USSR's break of diplomatic relations with Israel and increased Jewish activism, followed by a massive crackdown against Soviet Jewish activists, needed an adequate response and allocation of resources. After a set of recommendations was adopted at a joint meeting, chaired by Rabbi Herschel Schacter and Abraham Bayer, of the AJCSJ and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, combined with the proposals of Stanley H. Lowell (American Jewish Congress), Philip Bernstein (Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds), Charlotte Jacobson (World Zionist Organization), Yehuda Hellman (Presidents Conference) and Isaiah Minkoff (National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council), the National Conference on Soviet Jewry was created in June 1971. The name change from AJCSJ to NCSJ was approved by the Plenum on December 13, 1971.

NCSJ determined its objectives through a consensus of a Board of Governors, which met 3-4 times a year. The Board of Governors consisted of representatives from all member agencies, as well as twenty-five representatives and twenty-five alternates from local communities. The Board of Governors annually elected the Executive Committee and officers of NCSJ.

The plenum of the National Conference included all members of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry as well as the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and stipulated a number of representatives of welfare funds and community relations councils designated jointly by the National Jewish Community Relations advisory Council (NJCRAC) and the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.

With the establishment of NCSJ in 1971, Jerry Goodman was appointed executive director of the NCSJ (replaced by Mark Levin in 1987) and Richard Maass was elected its chairman (subsequent chairmen were Theodore (Ted) Man and Morris Abram).

In one of its leaflets the NCSJ described itself as, "an autonomous body working to develop programs designed to be helpful in relieving the problems of Soviet Jews: to aid Soviet Jews who seek their right to leave for Israel and elsewhere; to combat rising anti-Semitism in the USSR; to help Jews live in the Soviet Union with the rights, privileges and freedoms accorded other religious and national minority groups; [and] to help protect the civil and personal rights of Jews within the USSR." At the peak of its activities the NCSJ included about fifty national organizations, among them the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Public Affairs Committee, American Zionist Federation, American Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith and B'nai B'rith-Women, Hadassah, The Women's Zionist Organization; the Central Conference of American Rabbis, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, and, on the local level, by hundreds of Jewish communal organizations.

The NCSJ created a network of support groups, which engaged a broad range of Americans, both Jews and non-Jews, and included doctors, lawyers and Congressional spouses. It used contacts with U.S. Presidents, members of the administration, and members of the U.S Congress and Senate to put pressure on the Soviet authorities to allow the increase of the number of Jews attempting to emigrate from the USSR and to ameliorate the condition of Soviet Jews. While presidents before Reagan were reluctant to exercise full-scale intervention on behalf of Soviet Jews for fear of jeopardizing the policy of détente, the U.S. Congress was less apprehensive and more willing to assert itself as a guardian of democracy and a moral force in the wake of United States political scandals and the Vietnam War.

From the beginning, NCSJ leaders cultivated ties with power brokers in Washington, D.C. to further their cause: influential entrepreneurs Armand Hammer and Donald Kendall, prominent lawyers Telford Taylor and Alan Dershowitz, entertainers Joanne Woodland, Jack Gilford and Jane Fonda as well as writers and intellectuals such as Elie Wisel and Alfred Kazin.

A new chapter in the NCSJ and all Soviet Jewry Movement activities was introduced when Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson and Congressman Charles Vanik joined with the NCSJ to introduce legislation that would link trade benefits (the Most Favored Nation status) and credits to the emigration policies of foreign states. The campaign in support of the Jackson-Vanik bill started in 1972 and culminated with the signing of the Jackson-Vanik amendment to the Trade Act of the United States, passed in 1974 and enacted in January 1975. The amendment forced the Soviet authorities to yield, and the years 1975-1979 showed a steady increase in Soviet Jewish emigration from the USSR, reaching its peak in 1979 with 51,320 people. After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979, American-Soviet relations rapidly deteriorated, resulting in a reduction of the number of Jews allowed to emigrate from the USSR, and increasing the vigor of the "anti-Zionist" (an euphemism for anti-Jewish) campaign in the 1980s.

In 1984-1985, with a virtual halt in emigration from the Soviet Union, the NCSJ recognized the need for significant changes and admitted that the organization's most important goal, that of "maximizing the involvement of all segments of the Jewish and general communities," in the U.S. had not been achieved. It made steps to enhance its image as "the address for the Soviet Jewry advocacy efforts, guidelines, programs, materials" focusing on work with the national agency members and local federations "to create an integrated and cooperative approach." The involvement of local communities, mostly symbolic so far, was invigorated by attracting local leaders and local communities to participate in decision-making and regular information briefings. The primary purposes of the NCSJ were reformulated as follows:

  • "To enable Jews to leave the Soviet Union in accordance with international law; to help those Jews who choose to remain in the Soviet Union live as Jews with the same rights accorded every other nationality and religious minority, and to assure that the plight of Soviet Jewry is kept in the forefront of deliberations of our Government, as well as the public and private sectors."

The new realities of a strong, determined and popular president in the United States (Ronald Reagan, from 1981) and the new policies of "perestroika" and "glasnost" in the top echelons of Soviet power, which included reforms liberalizing Soviet political and ideological norms, opened new opportunities of advocacy on behalf of Soviet Jews. On December 6, 1987, on the eve of the Reagan-Gorbachev summit meeting, about a quarter of a million people marched in Washington to support the struggle of Soviet Jews for their human rights and the right to emigrate from the Soviet Union. The rally was attended by presidential candidate and then vice-president, George H.W. Bush, and a group of recently released refuseniks and prisoners of conscience, among them Ida Nudel, Yosef Begun, Natan Sharansky, Vladimir Slepak and Yuli Edelshtein. It was the largest national event ever held in the nation's capital for any Jewish cause. Created and coordinated by a special NCSJ task force with determination and solidarity, the event brought together all organizations involved in the Soviet Jewry Movement.

The following years brought a drastic increase in Soviet Jewish emigration. By 1991, the year that the USSR ceased to exist, restrictions on all refuseniks were lifted. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the NCSJ continued to serve as an agency coordinating aid to and advocating on behalf of, Jews living in countries that were former territories of the Soviet Union. The NCSJ now operated under the name "NCSJ: Advocates on Behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States and Eurasia," with the head office in Washington, DC.

Today, the NCSJ continues its work as a not-for-profit agency on behalf of the 1.5 million Jews in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The organization stresses, in its own words, the "commitment to safeguard the religious and political freedoms of Jews living in the successor states, protect their right to emigrate without impediment, monitor and combat anti-Semitism, and ensure that Jews have full access to Jewish education, culture, and heritage."

Scope and Content Note

The collection consists of two parts, which reflect two different acquisitions of the NCSJ materials by AJHS. They are defined as Part One and Part Two and have respective collection numbers of I-181 (1964-1991) and I-181A (1966-1992). The numeration of container manuscript boxes is separate within each part, the numeration of folders is separate within each box, and the container description is on the folder level.

Scope and Content Note for I-181

The first part of the collection (I-181, 36 linear feet), which was donated in 1980, contains materials of the early period of NCSJ activities. It includes the records related to the restructuring of the American Jewish Conference for Soviet Jews (AJCSJ), which functioned from 1964 till 1971. Series I: American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry Records of Part One (I-181) includes materials of the organizational conference of 1964 in Washington, D.C., on which the AJCSJ was founded and AJCSJ bylaws, articles of association, correspondence on the restructuring of AJCSJ. Among other materials are minutes of meetings, a White Paper on Soviet Jewry (submitted to the President of the U.S. in 1968), information on programs like "Matzo of Hope," the Soviet Jewry Petition Campaign, recommendations on Soviet Jewry for Youth and Campus, the Simchat Torah Solidarity Demonstration, and the text of Appeal by Civil Rights Leaders for Soviet Jewry signed, among others, by Ralph David Abernathy, Bella Abzug, Cesar Chavez, R. Abraham Joshua Heschel, Coretta [Scott] King and Roy Wilkins. Also present are documents reflecting the American Jewish reaction on Soviet "hijacking" trials of 1970, resolutions on Soviet Jewry, memoranda and circular letters, and budget statements. An interesting and little known attempt to create a Yiddish language service at the Voice of America radio station in order to broadcast information directly to Soviet Jews (it was not implemented) is also documented in I-181 (box 2, folder 4, box 66, folders 1-3).

The transformation of the AJCSJ into NCSJ was taking place for about six months of the year 1971, from June, when the NCSJ was officially created, through December, when the new name was adopted and all the changes finalized. For this reason there is no clear watershed or border within the organization's materials from that period. Though the bulk of the AJCSJ-era materials is presented in Series I: American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry Records, there is the occasional presence of AJCSJ documents in many folders related to the work of officers and committees of the NCSJ, especially in I-181 Series II (NCSJ Chairmen and Staff Mailings and Correspondence), III (NCSJ Committees Records) and IV (Organizations Correspondence).

One needs to mention that AJCSJ stationary was used well after it was reorganized into NCSJ. The breadth of efforts of AJCSJ and NCSJ is reflected in Series IV: Organizations Correspondence, where correspondence with Jewish organizations of America is presented. Of particular importance are folders of the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, B'nai B'rith, Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council and local U.S. agencies.

Another important part of the NCSJ activities is presented in Series V: U.S. Presidential, House and Senate Correspondence and Printed Materials, correspondence with the U.S. government and legislation bodies, including the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations. These materials reflect NCSJ efforts to urge the Federal government to exercise pressure on the Soviet authorities in order to allow free emigration of Jews from the USSR, and meetings and talks with administration officials, Senators and Congressmen. The Series has original letters form presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

Series VI: Foreign Organizations Correspondence and Printed Material of Part One (I-181) contains correspondence with foreign organizations involved in the Soviet Jewry Movement.

The largest segment of Part One (I-181) of the NCSJ collection is presented in Series VII: NCSJ Activities and covers projects and activities of the NCSJ that were designed to alert broader circles of Jewish and non-Jewish citizens about the plight of refuseniks and prisoners of conscience in the USSR and to strengthen the consolidation of Jewish-American efforts to aid Soviet Jews. Among the activities are projects related to the controversial issue of the destinations of Soviet Jewish émigrés and their resettlement ("Olim"-immigrants to Israel vs. "Drop outs"-Jews aspiring to go to the U.S.), Helsinki Human Rights, petition campaigns, Refusenik and Prisoner adoptions, Trade with the USSR, Visitors to the USSR, Scientists Solidarity and more.

Publications of various Soviet Jewry Movement organizations constitute Series VIII: Publications, and include bulletins, newsletters and press releases arranged alphabetically according to the name of the publication.

The collection has sixty-two posters (I-181, Series IX: Posters), which are stored in oversized folders (OS2F, MAP1, MAP2) and include forty unique images and twenty-two duplicates, all of which are related to the Soviet Jewry Movement.

Scope and Content Note for I-181A

The second part of the collection (I-181A, 168 linear feet) contains the records of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry and audio recordings related to various aspects of the Soviet Jewry Movement and were received in 2006. The bulk of the collection belongs to the late 1970s-early 1980s. Some Series I materials reflect the activities of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry, forerunner of NCSJ, and date from the 1960s. Documents in Series I: NCSJ Administrative Records, reflect the activities of the Executive Committee and the Board of Governors; correspondence of the Executive Director and the Chairman of NCSJ, meetings of the National Advisory Council; meetings of national and regional staff members, the Council of Associates, the Review Task Force Committee and more (I-181A, Series I). Contacts with the media and fundraising efforts of the NCSJ are reflected in the materials of I-181A Series II: Public Relations Records and Series III: Fundraising Records. The National Conference organized and took part in many forums on both Soviet Jewry and human rights in the USSR, and related material can be found in Series IV: Conferences, Actions, Projects and Events.

The NCSJ considered it to be of great importance to have the most accurate first-hand information on the conditions of Soviet refuseniks and prisoners of conscience. They updated their lists of refuseniks and prisoners and gathered in situ information on Soviet policies related to the treatment of foreign visitors. To these ends a considerable part of the NCSJ effort was directed towards organizing visits to Soviet Jews and refuseniks in the USSR and to producing guidelines for visitors. The material in the collection on visits to the USSR include a large body of about 800 travel reports, some with photographs, which constitute a valuable source for researchers of both Soviet Jews and Soviet policies in the 1970s-1980s (Series V: USSR Travel, Committee Files and Reports).

The NCSJ gathered information on refuseniks and prisoners of conscience and their families. As a result, the collection includes hundreds of individual folders on particular refuseniks and prisoners that contain information, which was widely disseminated through NCSJ publications, memoranda and circular letters. The information was also used for preparing cases for politicians and human rights lawyers, and for informational support of rallies and briefings. The refusenik folders are organized alphabetically, and include two bodies of folders, compiled at different times. The total number of individual folders is more than 1,000. There is also a refusenik and prisoner database on index cards (Series VI: USSR Refuseniks and Prisoners of Conscience Individual Files). Close to the content of Series VI is a body of individual files on Soviet Jewish émigrés-many of who were refuseniks and prisoners (Series VIII: USSR Jewish Émigrés Individual Files).

Among other materials are legal petitions on individual prisoners of conscience, prepared by prominent lawyer Telford Taylor, the former Counsel for the Prosecution at the Nuremberg Trials. The series also includes information on trials and sentencing of refuseniks (Series VII: Soviet Refuseniks and Prisoners of Conscience Legal Petitions, Affidavits and Memoranda). Among the documents are testimonies and statements made at the U.S. Congressional hearings on Soviet Jews and the Soviet legal system and contacts with United States administration officials (including U.S. presidents) on behalf of Soviet Jews (Series X: U.S. Government, Congress and Senate Contacts). Included is material on communication with other American Jewish and Soviet Jewry Movement-involved organizations (Series IX: Jewish Communal and ASJM Organizations Correspondence and Information Materials).

A large part of the collection are materials on the nature of the Soviet regime and its treatment of Jews, with particular emphasis on the legal and ideological side of the Soviet stance towards the Jews of the Soviet Union (Series XIII: Human Rights, U.S. and USSR Politics, International Politics, anti-Semitism and Holocaust, USSR Politics, General Information Materials).

The collection includes a large number of photographs and posters (Series XIV: Photographs and Oversized Materials) and a substantial audio collection, which records the efforts of American Soviet Jewry Movement activists and the voices of the Soviet refuseniks from behind the Iron Curtain (Series XV: Moving Image Film Strips and Videos).

Part 2, Series I: NCSJ Administrative Records, undated, 1965-1966, 1970-1993.

The Series is in English.
Boxes 1-21.
Scope and Content:

This series presents the administrative and managerial materials of the organization and is divided into five Subseries. Subseries A contain documentation and correspondence of the top officials of the NCSJ, as well as bylaws and some other administrative documents. Subseries B include minutes of the meetings of the Conference's Policy Board and the Board of Governors, and Subseries C-minutes of the Executive Committee. The Series reflects the search for new ways of operating the NCSJ during the first half of the 1980s, when the activities seemed to yield less response among Jewish organizations. Paired with the lack of new ideas and the sharp decline in the number of Jews allowed by the Soviet government to emigrate created a need in a revision of NCSJ policies which was reflected by the creation of the Review Task Force in 1984. The events of that time are reflected in Series D. The Subseries are: Subseries A: Staff Member Files and General Records, 1965-1990; Subseries B: Board of Governors, 1978-1986, 1988-1989; Subseries C: Executive Committee, 1972-1989; Subseries D: Additional Committees and Divisions, 1974-1989; and Subseries E: National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC), undated, 1972, 1974-1993.

Part 2, Series IV: Conferences, Actions, Projects and Events, undated, 1966-1991.

The Series in English, Hebrew, and Russian.
Boxes 35-53.
Arrangement:

Arranged into two subseries.

Scope and Content:

The Series covers the activities of the NCSJ that attracted both Jewish and non-Jewish supporters and raised awareness in the American public on the plight of Soviet Jewry. The organization of projects and the holding of events on behalf of Soviet refuseniks and prisoners of conscience were, along with the lobbying efforts on behalf of, Soviet Jewish issues within seats of power in the U.S.-the most important and the most popular kind of activities-enhanced public visibility of the NCSJ efforts and allowed individual American Jews and their families to join in particular projects that broadened the strength and support base of the Movement.

Among the projects were Pen Pals, Bar/Bat Mitzvah Twinning, Adopt-a-Family, International Day of Concern for Soviet Jews, and consultations and meetings with prominent activists and politicians. NCSJ contacted former refuseniks and prisoners of conscience to enlist them in the effort of spreading information about the repressions against Jews in the Soviet Union, and organized their trips and lectures. Within the "Mishlakhat" project, relatives of prisoners of conscience toured Jewish communities- speaking out on the life conditions of Jews in the Soviet Union-and campaigning for the release of their imprisoned loved ones.

Some Bar/Bat Mitzvah folders contain photographs of Soviet Jewish children and their families, as well as their American counterparts-children, whose Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremony included a symbolic presence of the Soviet Jewish child, deprived in his or her homeland of the right to celebrate the assumption of Jewish religious responsibilities.

Correspondence with families of refuseniks and prisoners of conscience within the Pen Pal and Adopt-a-Family programs was an important avenue of contacts with Soviet Jews, providing moral support and often, material help from American pen pals, as well as updated information on the status and condition of the refuseniks, prisoners and Jews in general in a given locality of the Soviet Union.

The Series is divided into two Subseries: Projects, 1972-1976, 1978-1989, 1991 and Events, undated, 1966, 1971, 1974-1989.

Part 2, Series V: USSR Travel, Committee Files, and Reports, undated, 1970-1991.

The Series is in English, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Polish, and Russian.
Boxes 54-91.
Arrangement:

Arranged into three series.

Scope and Content:

In order to obtain and disseminate information about Soviet Jews, and especially about refuseniks and prisoners of conscience, NCSJ organized a special committee that planned and coordinated visits to the USSR, conducted debriefings and gathered first-hand information on refuseniks and POC. This Series includes more than 750 travel reports and debriefing materials from 1970 through 1990 from trips to the Soviet Union, including refusenik home addresses and information for persons visiting them from the West. The travel reports are organized alphabetically by the last name of a visitor. The first set of dates in parentheses on the folder list indicates the actual dates of a given visit. Travel reports from delegations and representatives of local NCSJ and other ASJM members are organized alphabetically according to the name of locality in the U.S. Many travelers were debriefed by the NCSJ, and a debriefing questionnaire can be found in Box 58, Folder 16. The Series is divided into three Subseries: Subseries A: Individual Travel Reports, undated, 1970-1971, 1973-1989; Subseries B: Local U.S. Communal Organizations Representatives Travel Reports, undated, 1975-1988; and Subseries C: Soviet Jews and Refuseniks Information for Visitors with Updates, undated, 1971-1991.

The Series is in English, Hebrew, and Russian.
Boxes 92-153.
Arrangement:

Arranged into six subseries.

Scope and Content:

Information collected by the NCSJ on Soviet refuseniks and prisoners of conscience was systematized, organized, updated, and preserved in the form of individual files as a database. Information from the database was used to create Refusenik, Prisoner of Conscience and Bar/Bat Mitzvah Twin profiles, which were distributed among the local NCSJ local organizations, and other members of the American Soviet Jewry Movement and circulated in the Jewish communal organizations and synagogues, on the ASJM events. The Series contains several databases created at different times. A typical personal file contains information on the status of a person, his or her family members, address and place of work, time when the person submitted an application for emigration, reason for refusal, occasional information on visits by persons from the West, requests for material help and particular items needed (medications, photo cameras, tape recorders etc., and other additional information. Many individual folders include photographs of refuseniks and prisoners of conscience, and their letters. The Series is divided into six subseries including Subseries A: Individual files on Soviet refuseniks, undated, 1971-1991; Subseries B: Additional individual files on Soviet Jews, undated, 1972-1992; Subseries C: Catalog cards on people that emigrated form the USSR to Israel, undated; Subseries D: Contacts in the USSR by location, undated, 1973-1989, 1991; Subseries E: Printout of the database on persons who were permitted to emigrate from the USSR, undated, 1988-1989; and Subseries F: General information on refuseniks and prisoners of conscience in the USSR, undated, 1972-1991.

Part 2, Series VII: Soviet Refuseniks and Prisoners of Conscience Legal Petitions, Affidavits and Memoranda, undated, 1971-1990.

The Series is in English, Hebrew, Russian, and Yiddish.
Boxes 154-161.
Arrangement:

Arranged into four subseries.

Scope and Content:

Legal support was an integral part of the struggle for Soviet Jews. While the Soviet authorities increased repressions against the Jewish activists and Refuseniks in the Soviet Union, NCSJ and other ASJM organizations sought for legal counter measures against the indiscriminate use of juridical persecutions by the Soviet judges. Teams of lawyers and prominent attorneys like Telford Taylor and Alan Dershowitz used the factual information on prisoners of conscience and background information like the nature and structure of the Soviet legal system, supplied by the NCSJ, as well as texts of Soviet laws used to sentence Jewish activists. The prepared legal petitions on behalf of the Jewish victims of Soviet repressions before the Soviet authorities and international organizations are preserved in this Series. The petitions and legal briefs proved that the Soviets did not respect their own laws in regard to their Jewish citizens, and proved that the legal conduct of the prosecutor and court branches of the Soviet legal system was not only contrary to the international legal standards, but also contrary to the USSR Constitution and legal code. The NCSJ used that information for briefing of the top US officials in order to influence their Soviet counterparts, and for members of the American Bar Association that maintained contacts and organized meetings with the Soviet lawyers' organizations and individual Soviet lawyers with the task of attracting attention to and demand of altering the policies of the unjust application of Soviet laws and regulations to the Jewish activists and refuseniks. The Subseries are divided into materials that contain legal petitions and briefs on individual prisoners of conscience, and information on trials and sentencing of refuseniks and prisoners of conscience. There are four Subseries as follows: Subseries A: Legal petitions on individual cases by Telford Taylor, undated, 1974-1979; Subseries B: Information on trials and sentencing of refuseniks and POC, undated, 1971-1975; Subseries C: Materials for campaigning on behalf of individual Refuseniks, undated, 1972-1990; and Subseries D: Lawyers' Committee Materials, undated, 1974-1990.
