It is vital that we put aside this time to focus attention on the inhumane activities which the Soviets practice against their own people and the Jewish population. to acknowledge the ongoing struggle in which these courageous men and women must engage to keep their hope and spirits intact. to be aware of the high price they must pay for the crime of being Jewish in the Soviet Union. and the even worsecrime of being a Jew who no longer wishes to be in the Soviet Union but want next year to be in Jerusalem. The burdens that Soviet Jews must bear are heavy ones indeed. made even greater when one dares to express his desire to leave. The act of applying to emigrate is an act of great courage since the chances of success are small and the risks are great. There are countless tales of Jews who applied for emigration. were turned down. and lost everything as a result. Everything. that is. that could be taken away by the state. But even the mighty Russia could not take away the great heart of these courageous people.
