Mr. Leonid Rigerman. who has personally experienced this repression and who battled the Soviet bureaucracy for nearly a year to be allowed to immigrate to the United States. His tale of religious persecution in the Soviet Union is shocking to those of us in this country who often take for granted our freedom of religion. The tribulations which Leonid Rigerman underwent in obtaining his freedom are also enlightening. The sort of a native American mother and a naturalized American father. Mr. Rigerman sought to have himself confirmed an American citizen by the U.S.
