The Soviet Union. home of several million Jews. is intent upon destroying the Jewish identity of its citizens. Their culture is suppressed. their religious expression stiffled. Yet. they too are opposing this repression. Thousands of Jews are defying the Soviet Government. They are conducting a civil rights movement aimed at securing their right to exist as Jews whether in the Soviet Union or by emigration to Israel or elsewhere. As we commemorate the bitter struggle of a notsodistant day. we pay homage not only to those brave people who fought then. but we also affirm that never again will such a blasphemy be allowed to be perpetrated as the Nazis pursued.
