A generation ago. the Jewish people lost a third of their entire population to the lunatic demand of Adolf Hitler that Europe be made "judenrein." The subtler undermining of Jewish life in the Soviet Union today is a less savage but not less serious threat to survival. There are ominous signs that repression of all forms of dissent is being stepped up in the Soviet Union today. And because Jewish emigrants constitute the largest remaining discrete group of dissidents. repression falls most heavily on them. Last April saw the arrests of a number of religious groups. In July and August. there was a dramatic interruption of telephone service.
