About this Event

Jewish immigration from the Soviet Union, especially 1960s-1980s, is a story of individual action and determination - of a movement of people, for people. It is a story of unification around a cause that welcomed diverse motivations and beliefs, that engaged millions around the world, uniting Soviet Jews who wanted to emigrate and Western activists who lobbied on their behalf. 

Now, the Blavatnik Archive is collecting the stories of the people who were involved, and those whose lives were affected by what was accomplished. Were you or your family involved in any way? Are there moments you remember? Do you have photographs that capture the moments? Are there objects that remain meaningful reminders? Come tell us!

This opportunity is hosted in conjunction with the Wende Museum’s Soviet Jewry Archival Community Access Event. 

About the Blavatnik Archive: The Blavatnik Archive is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to preserving and disseminating materials that contribute to the study of 20th-century world history, with a special focus on Jewish culture, World Wars I and II, and Soviet history. The Archive was founded in 2005 by the businessman and philanthropist Len Blavatnik to reflect his commitment to cultural heritage and expand his support for primary source–based scholarship and education.
