In an effort to focus public attention on the plight of a specific prisoner each month, the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews has started a “Prisoner of the Month” program to acquaint the public with Soviet Jewish prisoners; Boris Penson, currently serving a 10-year term, is the December Prisoner of the Month.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
