In 1983. we saw the creation of the AntiZionist Committee of the Soviet Public. yet one more example of the Kemlins propaganda campaign designed to foment hostility toward its Jewish citizens and the State of Israel. As we all know. the Soviet Jewry movement has reached a critical juncture. Soviet stonewalling on this issue has produced great challenges for the Jews in the U.S.S.R. and their supporters in the West. Although Moscow may think it can break the will of the Soviet Jews. we know that their desire for. and commitment to. emigration remains high. As we mark the eighth anniversary of Anatoly Shcharanskys imprisonment. we are reminded of the deep commitment of Soviet Jewry to securing their human rights. We know that we cannot give up and leave these people spiritually abandoned.
