Poster for Solidarity Sunday march for Soviet Jews

Under Soviet rule, Jews faced relentless discrimination.They were banned from practising their faith, shut out of universities and top professions and targeted by state-sponsored antisemitism. Many sought to escape a life of surveillance, repression, and isolation. Those who applied to leave were often branded traitors, lost their jobs, and became known as “refuseniks.”

This poster advertises Solidarity Sunday, a march held on May 21, 1987, in New York City to support Soviet Jews. Organised by a coalition of Jewish groups, the event called for the right of Jews in the USSR to practise their religion and emigrate freely.
