it in the past—to make Israel
into the citadel of international
Zionist reaction" and to, draw
the Jewish people into "the strag-
gle against the 'friendship of
peoples and the policy of peace
and progress."

This was disclosed in a letter
by Samuel Krakow, international
relations director of the American
Red Cross, in a letter to Rabbi
Gilbert L Klaperman, chairman of
the Greater NeW-York Conference
on Soviet Jewry.

Meanwhile, six Jews in Soviet
Georgia have sent a letter to Israel
reprimanding those Georgian Jew-
ish emigres who have expressed
the wish to return to the USSR and
urged the Israeli government to
take special steps to help Geor-
gian Jews adapt to Israeli life,
it was reported by the Student
Struggle for Soviet Jewry.
The letter stated that "you who
wish to return thought you would

get rich in Israel, but the vast ma-

jority of Georgian Jews want only
to enrich Israel."
The letter, according to the
SSSJ, asked the ministry of ab-
sorption to assist Georgian Jews

by broadcasting from Israel in
Georgian and by providing those
who emigrate to Israel with Geor-
gian-Hebrew dictionaries as well

The National Conference on So-
viet Jewry has learned that the
Supreme Court of the Russian
Republic (RSFSR) has turned
down the appeal of Boris Azerni-
kov and upheld his 31/2 year
prison sentence. The appeal was
heard some time last week, ac-
cording to the conference.
Azernikov, a 25-year-old Jewish
dentist, was tried and convicted
for alleged "anti-Soviet" activity
and sentenced to a strict regime
prison camp.
His conviction was based on al-
legedly "incriminating" docu-
ments found in a search of his
apartment: a book of poems by
the Hebrew poet, Hayim Nahman
Bialik, a Hebrew calendar and
a copy of a letter protesting the
denial of visas to Soviet Jews.
Dr. Azernikov had testified on
behalf of Jews in the Leningrad
trials, but was not arrested until

Nevertheless, she is enduring
great hardship, the sources said.
Her job is to make button-holes
and her quota is 3,000 a day.
She can manage only 2,000, and
as a result her meager diet has
been reduced. Roiza Palatrult's 23-
year-old sister, Katya, arrived in
Israel last Friday. She said that
Roiza was jailed along with prosti-
tutes and drug addicts and that
the wardens incite other prisoners
to mistreat her.
The International Committee of
the Red Cross has "been in touch

with the Alliance , of oRed Cross
and Red Crescent Societies of the
USSR inquiring about the health
and welfare of specific individuals
now being held in detintion cen-
ters of the USSR."

Maass also called for the easing
of emigration procedures.
The conference has learned of
continuing instances of harassment
of Soviet Jews and of Soviet author-
ities minimizing the martyrdom of
Jews in the Holocaust. On Jan. 3,
marking the 30th anniversary of
the slaughter of 17,000 Jews in a
field near a tractor factory in
Kharkov in the Ukraine, a group
of Jews requested permission to
hold a rally at the grave site
where all the dead are buried.
The town's authorities refused, on
the grounds that rallies could be
held only on officially recognized
days.
In spite of this, a few Jewish
families from Kharkov went to the
cemetery on Jan. 3 and left flow-
ers. The police were waiting there
for them. They checked their iden-
tifications and then let them go.
On Jan. 6, four Kharkov Jews
were summoned to the KGB and
told to stop sending information
abroad as to what is happening
in Kharkov, otherwise they would
be in trouble.
The four Jews immediately re-
sponded to this threat by issuing
a report about their confrontation
with the KGB.
