Blue Star over Red Square / For eighteen long years, Carmela and Volodya (Zev) Raiz were Russian refuseniks, harassed and hounded by the KGB. Communism denied them even the basic human right to study and practice their religion, causing them to grow up ignorant of their own rich Jewish heritage. But even tyranny and oppression cannot douse the light of Yiddishkeit once its spark is kindled. Avid students, and later, devoted teachers, the Raizes risked life and limb to disseminate Torah learning to countless Russian Jews, while time and again their hopes of emigrating and raising their children in Eretz Yisrael were cruelly dashed. Victimes of a KGB vendetta, they endured hardships and persecution until their dream of freedom finally came true. This is their incredible, inspiring story.
