The events that took place during this dark period of history. should never. ever. be repeated. I believe that every survivor of the Holocaust would Join me in saying that Jewish persecution still exists and it is occurring today in the Soviet Union. It is not the persecution the Holocaust survivors experienced in the concentration camps. but it is the denial of emigration rights to the Soviet Jews. We can remember the Holocaust and we can pay tribute to those brave people. some who died and some who survived the Holocaust. but we cannot change the course of events. However. there is still time to change the course of events for the Soviet Jews who are waiting for permission to emigrate. Over 350.000 Jews have expressed their desire to emigrate. Only 896 were allowed to do so last year. Obviously. there are many Jews longing to leave who are prohibited by the Soviet Union to do so.
