It was not very long ago. under another totalitarian regime. that Jews were compelled to so identify themselves. That was under Hitler and there was a world outcry. But it is a muted protest that appeals to the Soviet sense of humanity to desist from this malevolent practice. Added to this humiliation is the refusal of the Soviet authorities to permit Jews to emigrate from the U.S.S.R. to Israel. Only a few aged people are allowed to leave to be reunited with families. But 3 million Jews are compelled to remain in the Soviet Union. forbidden to -develop their old culture and not even allowed new prayerbooks.
