The Soviet Government recently arrested mathematician Iosif Begun for attempting to teach the Hebrew language. an act interpreted as "antiSoviet agitation and propaganda." An engineer met the same fate for organizing Jewish cultural and educational activities in the Ukraine. Children under the age of 14 recently received an official antiSemitic publication slandering the Old Testament. The list of atrocities continues. as Dean Lachman describes what many believe to be a campaign to "blot out the collective memory of the Jewish people." Right now. Soviet Jews are trapped. denied the opportunity to emigrate. They look to the United States for help. Unfortunatley. our protests to the Soviet Government have often been turned against us.
