This truth became even more evident when. while anticipating my own trip home. it struck me what a privilege it is to freely congregate with those we love. Right now in the Soviet Union there are tens of thousands of people who are separated from their familiesheld captive in a bleak. hopeless society where terror and persecution are synonymous with life itself. Since the Andropov administration took over. it has augmented the everpresent antiSemitic propaganda. increased the attacks on those who study Hebrew and Jewish culture. intensified the assault on Judaism. and severely restricted all Jewish emigration. Perhaps the most perverse of all the violations of human rights is the attempt to rewrite the entire history of World War II to depict the Jews as cooperating with the Nazis and as responsible for antiSemitism.
