Discrimination in education and employment: The proportion of Jews in higher education. science. and the professions has been declining from 13.5 percent in 1935 to 3.1 percent today. Jews have virtually disappeared from the diplomatic service. and know that they cannot aspire to leading positions in economic. industrial. technical. and engineering work. Sixth. Refusal of the right to emigrate: Jews who wish to leave the Soviet Union to be reunited with their families are forbidden to do so. Taken together this adds up to a policy of reducing the Jews to secondclass citizenship in the U.S.S.R.. of breaking their spirit and crushing their pride. It aims to shatter. pulverize and gradually eliminate Jewish historical consciousness and Jewish identity.
