Jews have. at varying times. found it impossible to print religious texts necessary to the observance of their faith. Yet. when Jews. and others. have attempted to gain permission to leave the Soviet Union. they have found that official Soviet policy is to make it as dilcult as humanly possible to leave. "secret agreements" notwithstanding. Jews who have applied for exit visas not only find themselves unable to secure those elusive documents. but often find themselves out of their jobs. as well. Driven by these Impossible circumstances to protest their plight. Soviet Jews find themselves caught in a trap as they are made political prisoners.
