Soviet Jews

Continued from preceding page

Yaffa Yarkoni in Moscow: Evoking images of a golden Jerusalem.

Cinema House (the head-

quarters of the Soviet

Screen Actors Union) to give
the Oscar-winning film a
public screening the night
before the opening of the So-
lomon Mikhoels Center.
Several prominent Soviets
I spoke to said that Todor-
ovsky took some profes-
sional risks in pushing for
the screening of a film that
challenges Soviet efforts to
universalize the Holocaust
by graphically showing that
the Nazis singled out the
Jews for destruction.
Todorovsky, who is a
member of the Memorial
Society, a recently formed
group dedicated to honoring
the millions of innocent
Soviet citizens murdered
during the Stalin era purges,
explained, "Just as I believe
that victims of Stalinism
should not be forgotten, I
also feel it is important to
memorialize the victims of
the Holocaust —especially
those killed in the Soviet
Union."
Todorovsky sees both
pluses and minuses in the
present condition of Jews in
thp USSR. "We see almost no
state-sponsored anti-Semitism
today, which is a great change
from several years ago. The
limitations that were placed
on Jews in the universities and
in many professions are now
coming off." But lbdorovsky
conceded that she is "very
frightened" by the growth of
Pamyat and other anti-Semi-
tic groups. "A lot of prominent
Jews fear there is going to be
a Kristallnacht here," she re-
marked, adding that promi-
nent Jews are increasingly
afraid of drawing attention to
their success. She said that
she and her husband would
like to buy a foreign car, but
are afraid that doing so might

lead Pamyat supporters to
launch physical attacks on
them.
Todorovsky said that
most people still view the
Jews as outsiders who "are
only here as guests."
Alexander Gelman, one of
the Soviet Union's leading
playwrights, lives with his
wife Tanya and their 28-
year-old son Pavel in an
upscale apartment in one of
Moscow's most exclusive
sections. Gelman has been
nominated to be a candidate
for the Supreme Soviet elec-
tions in late March. "I am
getting involved politically,
because I believe that we ar-
tists have a responsibility to
help perestroika succeed,"
he explains.
Gelman's origins are a
good deal less exalted than
his present state. Born in
Kishinev, the capital of
Moldavia, to Orthodox Jew-
ish parents, Gelman and his
family were locked up inside
a small ghetto in the western
Ukraine during World War
II. Gelman, who watched
helplessly as his mother
wasted away from illness
and starvation in the ghetto,
was the only member of his
family to survive the war.
He says he has never
chosen to write about his
childhood experiences be-
cause "I suffered so much
during those years that I did
not want to cheapen the ex-
perience by writing about it.
Still, those experiences had a
tremendous effect on my
spiritual life. After what I
lived through in the ghetto, I
was never afraid of anything
in subsequent years. Gel-
man said he has never
written on Jewish themes in
any of his plays because "I
have always been more in-
