Evengy Aisenberg of Kharkov. Nadazhda Fradkove of Leningrad and Yuli Edelstein of Moscow are wellknown representatives of the persecuted thousands. The harassment. arrest. and sentencing of Aleksandr Kholmiansky. Yakov Levin. Shapira. and Aisenberg. all of whom are Hebrew teachers. is an obvious effort on the part of the Soviet authorities to smother the practice of Judaism by destroying that which keeps it alive. Of the over 350.000 Jews who have begun the emigration process in hope of escaping the fear and harassment. well over 20.000 are refuseniks. We will not end our protest until the oppression ends. Just this week.
