On June 2. we celebrated National Solidarity Sunday to reaffirm American support for Jews in Russia. Under the coordination of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. communities across the United States sponsored events in which Americans of all religious faiths and ethnic backgrounds expressed their feelings of solidarity for Soviet Russias Jews. Let it be noted that in the first 4 months of 1974. permitted emigration was more than 30 percent below the emigration rate allowed for 1973. Harassment of those applying for exit visas has increased. and this takes extreme physical forms. Only our voices can make a difference. Elie Wiesel has written and spoken eloquently of the holocaust In World War II. when Hitlers Germany murdered 6 million innocent Jews.
