Relates the life story, as well as the literary and intellectual activities of a group of Yiddish writers from Bessarabia - Moisei Elievich Altman, Mordko-Hersh (Motl) Abramovich Saktzier, Hertz Laizerovich Gaisiner, and Yankl Yakir - who were involved with the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (USSR) during the war and afterwards. They were arrested in 1949, charged with subversive nationalistic and anti-Soviet activities, and sentenced to serve time in the Soviet labor camps, where some of them died. Includes excerpts from the K.G.B. file of interrogations relating to their relations with the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee.
