There are many names throughout history that pop up as extra-ordinary. Whether they had tremendous courage, foresight, generosity, or they just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Natan Sharansky was one of those people who was born into hardship but stood up against the adversity and never lost himself. He was born in the USSR to a Jewish family, and applied himself in sciences. He became a Soviet dissident and was arrested under the suspicion of being a US spy.
After spending numerous years in work camps, he was traded his freedom for two Soviet spies. For giving so much to the US he was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He was also listed as one of the 100 most influential people by TIME magazine.
