The new policy. of openness should begin with the doors of these institutions so those who have been unjustly sentenced can be free. This policy should also ban the continued harassment of Jewish activists. Although the number of Jews emigrating from the Soviet Union is increasing and antiSemitism is not as evident in current official policy. the issue of Jewish emigration has yet to be resolved. While our attention is focused on the highprofile refusenik cases. there are still thousands of people trapped in this Communist country. some separated from their families and others separated from a country they long to call home. Glasnost can have positive effects on Soviet Jewry if it is fully implemented. but international pressure must continue so this goal can be realized.
