The Voice of Silence - (Jews of Russia & Eastern Europe and Their Legacy) by Kholmyansky (Paperback)

About the Book

The "Voice of Silence" is the personal story of an underground Hebrew teacher in the communist Soviet Union who was sentenced to prison after false claims by the KGB. He kept a hunger strike for 207 days to draw international solidarity. But his book is more than exotic memoir literature. It is a vivid, touching and thoughtful account of his Jewish spiritual growth, a painful discovery of the most subtle inner aspects of faith.
