Speaker. in light of this weeks conference sponsored jointly by the Union of Councils for Soviet Jewry and the Womens Interfaith Action for Freedom of Soviet Jewry. I think it appropriate to relate the story of Miss Raiza Palatnik. Miss Palatniks sister. Katia. a recent Russian Jewish emigree to Israel. is here in Washington to participate in the conference. Raiza is presently a prisoner in a slave labor camp in Odessa. Russia. In the latter part of 1970. she applied for an exit visa to Israel. Shortly thereafter. her apartment was searched and Hebrew textbooks were found. Because of possession of these materials.
