Postcard with a black-and-white photographic portrait of Ruth Alexandrovich. The postcard is pre-addressed to "Procurator-General R. A. Rudenko" and includes a printed message: "24-year-old Ruth Alexandrovich is a heroine of the Jewish Resistance in Riga. On October 7, 1970--a week before her wedding the KGB took her. Sensing impending arrest, she wrote, '...I shall never betray my much suffering people. I shall never betray my most cherished dream to live, work and die in Israel.' Her fiance, Isay Averbuch, wrote, 'I am ready to testify that she has not committed a single violation of the laws.' Her mother, Rivka Alexandrovich pleads, 'Save my daughter.'"
