I was a refusenick for many years. But I was fortunate. I wis finally able to emigrate. That has not happened to everyone. So many. like me. who have tried to get exit visas to go to Israel are now in labor camps. Others have been refused emigration permission and are still in the Soviet Union. My people. the people of the book. are not only illiterate but also silenced. The ones who have no possibility of learning a single Hebrew word or a single Yiddish word are those who now apply for exit visas to Israel. I had no possibility to learn anything about the Jewish religion. anything about Jewish philosophy or anything about Jewish tradition. There was not even mention in schools of the existence of Israel in the ancient world.
