THE KOENIGSBERGS, JANE, RON, JONATHON & MICHAEL To All Our Relatives and Friends, Our wish for a year filled with happiness, health and prosperity MR. & MRS. • ALEXANDER KARP & FAMILY May the New Year Bring To All Our Friends and Farily Health, Joy, Prosperity and Everything Good in Life HARVEY & DIANA STALBURG, CAREN & BARBI For hundreds of Soviet Jewish activists, arriving in Israel is the end of one struggle and the beginning of another. They remain tied to family loyalties that do not allow them to rest while loved ones and friends in the USSR continue struggling for the right to emigrate. "I won't say that we feel guilty, because the real guilty party is the Soviet Union, which holds the Jews hostage," says Dina Beilin, 45, a contemporary of Anatoly Shcharansky in the fight for Soviet Jewish emigration. "But all of us former prisoners of Zion and ex-refusniks now in Is- rael know that someone paid for our freedom. The victims of the Soviet Jewish emigration movement are the Shcharanskys, the Ida Nudels and the Joseph Be- guns (who served or are serving prison terms in Russia, stemming from their efforts towards aliya)," Mrs. Beilin was lucky be- cause she was allowed out with her family. However, dozens of families, such as the Shkolniks of the Uk- raine, were split. Feiga Shkolnik and her then five-year-old daughter Louisa, were allowed out 11 years ago, leaving her hus- band Isaac behind in a Soviet prison. Mrs. Beilin spends most of her spare time working for Soviet Jewry, from Israel. "We are in the free world, with the freedom of expres- sion needed to show up the Soviet system in all its cruelty. So we are com- pelled to find ways of ob- taining information on the refusniks and pri- oners of Zion, in order to bring it to the attention of the west." Mrs. Shkolnik is reluc- tant to-discuss her consider- able efforts on her hus- band's behalf, for fear that the Soviet authorities will take revenge on him. But she does bring his case be- fore the media whenever possible. "Isaac was a simple metal worker with no access to state secrets," she main- tains. "Yet the Soviets charged him with spying and sentenced him to seven years in prison and are still holding him under town ar- rest. His only crime, was trying to emigrate, learning Hebrew, and loudly and proudly proclaiming his Judaism. He suffered in prison, but was encouraged by the hope of being allowed out (of the USSR) at the end of his sentence. Four years later, the Soviets are still denying him an exist visa and he is very depressed." The two women were among the hundreds of former refusniks and ex- prisoners of Zion attending the Third International Conference on Soviet Jewry last spring.

Wallenberg was taken into custody by the Rus- sians, who claim he died in prison in 1947. Former Rus- sian prisoners have tes- tified, however, that Wal- lenberg was seen in recent years in Soviet prisons. .
