I would like to focus my remarks on what this brutal attack on Jews in the Soviet Union has meant to one family. the Kosharovskys whom I met in January 1982 at their apartment in Moscow. Yull Kosharovsky is a 42yearold electronics engineer. He first applied to emigrate to Israel in April 1971. 14 years ago. His application was refused on the grounds of the secrecy of his previous work. In May 1980. upon renewal of his emigration request and long after the secret prohibition had ceased to apply. Kosharovsky again was refused permission to leave. this time on the grounds that his invitation from Israel had not come from a firstdegree relative. His wife. Inna. has never been allowed to work within her field of mathematics solely because of their desire to emigrate to Israel and her son. Mikhail. has been repeatedly bullied and harassed in his school. Mr. Kosharovsky was fired from his engineers job for seeking to emigrate. He must now support his family by working as a night watchman and through odd jobs. He is one of Moscows leading Hebrew teachers. teaching a total of 30 students 6 days a week.
