Letters from Gabriel Shapiro to the Committee for Human Rights at the United Nations Regarding his Attempts to Emigrate from the USSR to Israel

1971

caption:
Dear Madame Eshel, I am approaching you to help me and I sincerely hope that you will do everything possible to persuade those individuals who have in their power the right to grant me permission to go to Israel. I hope that you will succeed in persuading those who deprive me of my rights according to the International Law which states unquivocably [sic] that it is my right and privilege to live in my Homeland: Israel.
My rights are sacred to me. It is impossible to realize these rights and to ignore them.
Thank you for your assistance.
Respectfully yours,
Gavriel Shapiro
