The Jewish community suffered so immeasurably during the Holocaust that even distant cousins in a family are close. When ones family has been decimated. the survivors cling to each other in honor and remembrance of the family. Such is the case with Jewish families around the world. and the Soviet Union is no exception. The Terlitsky family has a right. guaranteed by the family reunification provisions of the Helsinki Final Act. to be reunited with Leonard Terlitsky. The Soviet Union is signatory to this and other international agreements. Yet. in the face of almost 400.000 who desire to reunify. less than 1.000 were granted permission this past year.
