I rise today to focus attention on the Soviet Unions continued violations of human rights and its particular repression of Soviet Jews. Few nations around the globe deny individual human rights so systematically and clearly as the Soviet Union. Each of us knows several cases where Soviet authorities have and continue to deny internationally recognized human rights to people whose only crimes. if we can use that word at all. are to want to learn their own language and culture. to teach their religion. and to emigrate. The Soviet Union has singled Jews for especially cruel treatment. Jews in the Soviet Union are discriminated against not only as a religious group. but also as a national group.
