My Gulag Life: Stories of a Soviet Prisoner

Rough-hewn and unpretentious in his Russian cap and bushy white beard, Reb Mendel Futerfas was a legend in his own time.

He endured eight years in the Soviet Gulag and a seventeen-year separation from his family - punishment for his work in Chabad's clandestine yeshivahs.

Released from the Soviet Union in 1963, he would eventually rebuild his life as a mentor in Israel, where he drew on his experiences to inspire a new generation of Chasidim. 

Reb Mendel Futerfas proved that a strong faith in G-D triumphs over all life's adversaries.
