Mourning passively. we make dead the freedom which might live if it had a voice. Words that strike sideways at issues burn crucial moments away. Since 1979. Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union has declined consistently. Not since the Leningrad trials of 197071 has the figure been as low as it was in the past year. Over 57 times as many Jews were permitted to emigrate in 1979 as in 1984. During the second half of last year. the Soviets initiated with gusto a campaign of brutally surpressing Jewish cultural activities. employing threats. beatings. arrests. and searches in order to cleanse the streets of any remnant of Judaism. Kholmiansky.
