The world must never forget this tragedy. so that mankind should never let it happen again. Yet. hatred and bigotry continue against our Jewish brothers and sisters. And in the Soviet Union Jewish families and individuals suffer the denial of permission to emigrate to Israel. Like their forefathers who suffered through the human tragedy of the holocaust. they too are innocent victims. held captive because of their religious belief. Like their forefathers. they too have suffered the agony of broken families. many confined to lives of isolation. interrogation. and harassment. One case in point is Kim Fridman and his familyinnocent victims of the Soviet Governments cruel and odious treatment toward its Jewish population. Prior to his first request to emigrate to Israel in 1973. Fridman was a respected radio electronics engineer. Since 1973. Fridmans numerous requests to emigrate have been denied because of the socalled secrets he acquired during his career in radio technology. Today. Fridman is confined to a Soviet prison on charges of "parasitism." Parasitism is a spiteful and degrading charge the Soviet Government has conveniently invented to punish those who do not have a job in the U.S.S.R.
