It is only through such collective efforts that we will succeed. The staunch commitment of all of our colleagues to human rights is both needed and highly appreciated. The situation facing Soviet Jews. for all the talk of glasnost. does not appear to have changed much lately. We are thankful to see the release of a number of prisoners of conscience. such as Iosef Begun and Vladimir Lifschitz. yet these men never committed any crime to begin with. They and others were arrested. charged. convicted and sentenced to horrendous prison and labor camp terms solely because they were Jewish. Has glasnost brought them their emigration permits? Not yet. Iosef Berenshtein.
