Remembering Si Frumkin

Re “Survivor of Dachau worked tirelessly to assist Soviet Jews,” Obituary, May 18

Thank you for remembering Si Frumkin.

A former Soviet Jewish refugee, I met Si in the early 1980s, during the decade that witnessed relentless Soviet Communist onslaught and the subsequent demise of the dysfunctional empire.

Si exerted tremendous efforts to help Soviet Jews escape the bleak realities and stark anti-Semitism of the Soviet Union (thus ripping the Iron Curtain his own way), but he was also sympathetic to the cause of freedom throughout the world.

He was a proud naturalized American, a gifted writer and a nice person always ready to help those in need.
