Dim Future Seen
for Soviet Jews
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
William Korey, the Bnai
Brith's director of interna-
tional policy research, pre-
dicted a grim future for
Jewish survival in the
Soviet Union. "The likeli-
hood of a Jewish future in
the USSR is exceedingly
dim, probably non-
existant," he said.
Speaking at the annual
three-day policy conference
of the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ),
Korey explained that since
1948 the Kremlin has been
successful in assimilating
or eliminating its remain-
ing two million Jews.
Books are not men, and
yet they are alive; they are
man's memory and his aspi-
ration.
