Preserving the Story of the Soviet Jewry Movement

Our Mission

Why this project matters today?

The struggle to release Soviet Jewry is the most outstanding example of the power of our people’s solidarity in modern history.

Our Vision

For the Future Generations

Generations of proud, empowered Jews who understand their heritage as one of triumph, not just survival—equipped with historical knowledge, practical advocacy skills, and unshakeable confidence that they too can change the world for the better.

Help Preserve These Stories

SJMEP is helping to facilitate the digitization and formal archiving of individual activists’ collections that, at present, remain in people’s ‘attics, basements and closets.’ If you or someone you know has a private personal collection in need of preservation and inclusion in the stories we tell, please visit our materials donation page.
