Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yaakov (Jacob) Birnbaum (born 10 December 1926) is the founder of Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ) and many other human rights organizations. Because SSSJ was the first initiative to address the plight of Soviet Jewry, he is regarded as to be the father of the Movement to Free Soviet Jewry. He is a son of Solomon Birnbaum and a grandson of Nathan Birnbaum. Serendipitously, Mr. Birnbaum''s day of birth coincides with Human Rights Day which was established on his 22nd birthday. Yaakov Birnbaum was born in Hamburg, Germany. Shortly after Nazis came to power in 1933 his father was attacked in the street. During the same period, six year old Yaakov was surrounded by neighboring German boys who swarmed into the garden and stuffed his mouth full of dirt. The family managed to reach England but Hitler''s voice screaming "the accursed Jews" still dominated their lives. In 1938 and 1939 Yaakov went to school with refugee children who were brought out from Central Europe at the last moment in "kinder transporten" organized by Rabbi Dr. Solomon Schonfeld. He later studied modern European history at University of London.
