There is no justification for this warped set of priorities which simply illustrate the lack of understanding of the desperate situation confronting Soviet Jewry. Soviet Jews are engaged in nothing less than a struggle for survivala struggle to maintain their religious and cultural identities in the face of a systematic attempt by the Soviet Government to obliterate what remains of a rich cultural and religious heritage. They are being denied the fundamental rights of cultural and religious freedom at the same time as they are prohibited from emigrating to countries where these rights would be honored. Soviet Jews are prisoners who have committed no crime but have been sentenced to life in a cultural and religious vacuum. How can we continue to refuse them a powerful psychological uplift in the form of broadcasts in their mother tongue?
