I believe it unnecessary to recount the details of these incidents. but it is still significant to note once more that. the publicity our visit elicited clearly illustrates the extreme sensitivity of the Soviet Government to one of their more serious domestic problems. and it is encouraging to witness their awareness of this difficulty. I made it a point following this trip that a process of "cultural genocide" is being directed against the Jewish people in the Soviet Union. and in support of this view. I offer a letter which was forwarded to me by a group of Soviet Jews. including several of whom I met in Moscow. Even though emigration policies have become somewhat less rigid In Russia during the last few years. I think the free world has an obligation to keep itself informed about this matter. And since this letter poignantly describes the plight of some Soviet Jews today.
