ference, called by the Great-

Soviet Jewry, that in the
Soviet Union, the planned at-
tacks on Jewish cemeteries
were part of an overall Sov-
plan to shatter the Jewish
- spirit and ultimately to : de-
stroy every vestige of Jewish
identity in the USSR.
Rabbi Rubin said a bill has
been introduced to the Polish
Parliament to nationalize the
land in Which the cemeteries
are located. He called the
a ctivities "barbarism com-
mitted against the dead" and
