Yet our efforts often meet with frustration and despair at the apparent Intransigence of the Soviet government to acknowledge even the existence of a "Jewish problem" and to take meaningful steps to improve the condition of its Jewish population. Despite being signatories to four major international human rights documents since 1948. Soviet officials continue to virtually ignore the internationally accepted standards of emigration and human rights to which they have agreed In the past. The Soviet government has intensified its campaign of harassment and antiSemitic propaganda against refuseniks and their families. This alarming campaign has taken the form of press conferences linking Zionism with the Nazis. the loss of employment for Jews who have applied for emigration visas. restrictions on university enrollment for Jews. continual illegal searches of Jewish homes. confiscation of property.
