This groundswell can be heard around the world. yet nowhere is it louder than in the Soviet Union. Religious. cultural. and ethnic activists continue their mission. dedicated to the precepts of the Helsinki Final Act and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. to which the Soviet Union is signatory. Soviet Jews. desirous only of the family reunification to which they are entitled. are harassed and interrogated. and in many instances arrested and detained. for the simple reason that woven within that desire are activities of a cultural and religious nature. It is a brave individual who will continue to subject himself or herself to the insidious acts of the KGB while striving for higher freedom and truth. yet there are hundreds of thousands of brave men and women who have taken this step. They deserve our constant and active support. because as we enjoy our civil liberties without much thought.
