members of the British
version of the National
Conference on Soviet Je-
wry.)
"One dark night, when we
least expect it," said one of
the world's top statesmen,
"the gates will open again.
You can always count on the
Soviets to do what we least
expect." I hope he is right.
Expectations at present are
grim.
During the past year, we
first saw the collapse of the.
Jackson Amendment. It
represented a calculated
risk which was worth tak-
ing. Due to the strengthing
of the Soviet economy and
the reduction in the credit to
be made available, it col-
lapsed.
At that stage, those con-
cerned with the Soviet Je-
wry movement should have
paused, co-ordinated, recon-
sidered, and rebuilt the
campaign in the light of the
new circumstances. Instead,
the personnel, the tactics
and the slogans remained
the same.
For the Jews wanting
to leave the Soviet Union,
the provocations became
greater: more risks, more
imprisonment and more
harassment. More tele-
phone lines were shut
down, more isolation im-
posed, more threats to
scientists — and far fewer
visas.
Occasionally, the Soviets
showed a spark of human-
ity. While academician Lev-
ich and his wife were prom-
ised visas for the end of
1975, their two sons —
Sasha and Yevgeny (re-
cently sentenced to a year
in the Soviet Arctic) —
emerged with their wives:
men of talent, humor and
compassion. But on the
whole, the picture,v, - as grim.
Encouraged by letters
from those immigrants who
found it difficult to settle
down (letters which, of
course, always escaped un-
touched by the censor) —
and depressed by the fear of
further war in the Middle
East — the number of
emerging Jews who went to
Vienna, choosing to live in
other lands, increased.

Meanwhile, within the
Soviet Union, there were•
no new facilities for the
Jews, except, perhaps,
some extra matzo at Pas-
sover. And from without,
Jewish activists, who
might so easily themselves
have been hammering
from within, kept up their
pressures.
Happily, many outstand-
ing, non-Jews still regard the
campaign for freedom for
Soviet Jewry as a 'humani-
tarian issue of high import-
ance. But few are prepared
to jeopardize trade with the
Soviet Union in return for
the lives of unknown Jews.
LONDON — A memorial
was unveiled recently at
Mikulov in Moravia to mark
the death of a group of Hun-
/
garian Jews deported from
Hungary and executed in
the last stages of the war.
Jews from Brno and other
localities in Moravia partici-
pated in the ceremony, with
Dr. Bedrich Bass, chairman
of the Jewish -communities
in Bohemia and Moravia,
and Arnost--Neufeld, chair-
man of the Brno Jewish
community, as principal
speakers.
A considerable number of
non-Jews from Mikulov are
reported to have taken part
in the event.
