The true story of an American teenager who followed his faith to help a fellow Jew escape suppression in the former USSR.

Praise for Let My People Go!
by Rafi Richard Freeman

“This book was written by someone who was there. It is about responsibility, identity, and the moment when asked a simple question: “Would you like to do something to help your people?” Some answered with words. Mr. Freeman answered with action.”
– Olia Polovneff, daughte r of refuseniks

“A young man’s devotion to the cause of Soviet Jewry. A compelling read.”
– Dan Krakow, former Executive Director of Young Judaea Israel

“Freeman’s book is a unique diary of “who’s who” of this era and an exciting journal how he and his small, brave group of adventurers made noise and helped relocate some Russian Refuseniks. It’s well worth the read.”
– Mark Guttman, Emmy award winning American Broadcaster

“This book weaves personal memory with historical narrative to bring the world of Russian Jewry in 1972 vividly to life. I learned a great deal — not only about a pivotal moment in Jewish history, but about the lived experience behind the events. The author’s voice adds depth, clarity, and humanity, making this an engaging and meaningful read.”
– Beth Arnstein, A.A.C.I.
