If one were to devise some sort of historical tally of those who have died through ruthless oppression. the Soviet Union would be champion par excellence. I rise today to speak of one particular group that the Soviet regime appears bent on destroying. This one religion has suffered throughout the history of Soviet oppression and it now appears to be worsening. Jews in the Soviet Union have been the victims of an orchestrated plan of genocide. Jewish emigration. 51.000 in 1979. has come to a virtual standstill. Even requesting permission to leave the Soviet Union can be hazardous. Would be emigrees are harassed. detained and often imprisoned on trumped up charges.
