It is not only nighttime physically but it is an endless night for a lot of citizens in the Soviet Union. There are not too many freedoms in the Soviet Union for all Soviet citizens but there are no freedoms for Jewish citizens in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Government tells us that all of the Jews who wanted to get out of the Soviet Union have been allowed to emigrate. Yet we know there are hundreds of thousands of Jews in the Soviet Union who have tried desperately to emigrate and have been denied the chance to leave that country. I think "hero" is an overused word in our American vocabulary. We tend to use it on sports heroes and different kinds of people in our society who happen to do a good job in whatever field they are involved in.
