Only Jews have their religious identification stamped on all their official papers in Russia today. Only Jews are not allowed to retain a cultural identity through a variety of institutions made available to almost every other identifiable ethnic group in that country. Even the Volga Germans. who were deported to farther areas of Russia in World War 1I because of suspicion of disloyalty. are able today to publish. study. and engage in other activities in line with their heritage. Yet the doors are still shut in the faces of the Jews. So it is an ongoing wonder to note that in spite of the calculated effort of the regime to stifle Jewishness and everything that goes with it. the Jews of Russia continue to successfully insist on their rights to assert their ethnic and religious identity.
