Gradinger, Sanford A.
Sanford Gradinger's papers chronicle the efforts put forth by the Andrei Sakharov International Committee (founded at the University of Rochester in 1978) to engender human rights within the Soviet Union. The Committee's goals were to keep Sakharov alive, reunify the Lozansky family, and agitate for emigration rights for Soviet Jewry like Ida Nudel and Rimma Bravve. These efforts included a series of highly publicized concerts in the US and Europe as well as contacts with numerous public figures.
