Gagauzis and Jews. Finally. there appears to be evidence of governmental antiJewish sentiment confronting Jews attempting to emigrateto both Israel and the United States.

Rather. in this region. antiSemitism is akin to a slumbering giant. it casts a lingering shadow over the hopes and aspirations of the remaining Jews. yet it does not appear as an immediate problem.
