Pioneer Soviet Jewry Activist Baruch Asher Dies at 90

Baruch Asher, a "Prisoner of Zion" and activist for Soviet Jewry, has died at 90. Born Boris Kuchubievsky in Kyiv, he was imprisoned for his Zionist activities after protesting the Soviet erasure of Jewish identity at Babi Yar. His activism symbolized the struggle for Soviet Jews' right to immigrate to Israel, contributing to the eventual aliyah of one million people. He immigrated to Israel in 1972, lived in Jerusalem, and is survived by three children and grandchildren.
