The Ukrainians in Rumania. whose total number is 60.000. have 117 schools with 8.400 pupils. the Tartars. who total 20.000. are permitted 50 schools for 1.800 pupils. The 144.236 Yiddishspeaking Jews are only permitted 4 schools for 310 pupils. What is most heartrending is the fact that Rumania has been adhering. piously and religiously. to Moscows line on Jewish emigration. Discrimination against Jews inside Rumania and refusal of permission for them to leave Rumania have been Moscows policy. it has also been Rumanias policy. Up to March 1952. Rumania followed its own policy on Jewish emigration. Rumanian Jews were permitted to emigrate. and thousands of men left their families and resettled in Israel. hoping to bring their wives and children. Then in March 1952 emigration was suddenly stopped. The families remained stranded in Rumania. their husbands and fathers having preceded them to Israel. There were protests in Tel Aviv and in New York and wherever Jews of Rumanian origin reside.
