The plight of Soviet Jewry and the urgency of our message has been symbolized by the incarceration of Anatoly Shcharansky. This young prisoner of conscience is presently serving a 13year prison term for daring to speak out for individual human rights and for committing the crime of wanting to be reunited with his wife. Avital. in Israel. In addition to Anatoly. over 400.000 Soviet Jews continue to struggle for religious freedom and the right to emigrate. These courageous men and women fight for those very rights that we are ensured of simply through birth in a free nation. It is our responsibility to show our respect and appreciation for our freedom by remembering those who are not free.
