We have seen the determined effort to suppress specific Jewish consciousness. And we have seen what this has done to selfidentity by the hundreds of thousands of Jews who refused to accurately specify their nationality during the 1970 Soviet census.

Increasing emphasis on antiSemitic propaganda coupled with a decrease in the number of Jews allowed to receive higher education have created additional desire to leave at a time when emigration figures have been substantially curtailed. The sharpening of educational quotas based on discriminatory racial policies is already affecting future career opportunities for Jews. Over an 8year period.
