On February 11. 1986. millions of us watched television coverage of Anatoly Shcharanskys walk to freedom. In that almost unbelievable moment. a dream came true. But Shcharansky reminds us that his personal victory is only one against 400.000 who are still struggling. He calls on the free world to intensify its pressure on the Soviet Union to abide by the terms of the Helsinki agreement. About 400.000 Soviet Jews still seek to emigrate to the Soviet Union. The over 2 million Jews living in the Soviet Union continue to face. as Martin Luther King. Jr. once said. "a kind of spiritual and cultural genocide".
