CHILD SMALL 12 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1989 Reunification Continued from Page 5 They sent food parcels and letters describing life in America back to Poltava. "We told them what it was like to be a Jew in America," Glazer said. "To be a Jew in Russia is a crime." Even after the couple mov- ed to Detroit in 1985 to be with her husband's aunt, they continued their efforts to help their family. But get- ting them out of Russia was impossible. A few years ago the bar- riers loosened. In 1988, Yanina went back to Poltava to see her family and friends for the first time in nine years. Many asked if she would help them leave the county. When she returned to Detroit, Yanina spoke to workers at Jewish Family Service and Resettlement Service, told them about her friends and asked for help. She learned how to fill out the necessary immigration papers. Last April, she returned to Poltava to see her family and friends and made sure those who had applied for emigration 10 years earlier had the forms correctly signed. Today, Vladimir and Anna Goldshteyn, Arkadiy and Nina Chernyaysky, Vladimir and Faina Karpin- sky, Yury and Svetlana Edlin, and Leonid and Elana Starolinsky are all in Detroit. In August she made an- other trip, this time to a Soviet refugee camp in Italy. "A lot of people asked me to help them," Yanina said. "Most of them were from Poltava, but some I had never met before." But whether she knew them or not, she could not refuse their pleas. And when the doors began opening for her friends, the Glazers beagn arranging apartments and furniture for the refugees. Sometimes the newcomers arrived in Detroit before the apartments were ready. At one point Yanina had 22 people living in her small Southfield home for a few days. Finding them a place to live is only the beginning. The Glazers take their Soviet friends to the hospital, translate their needs to doctors, and help them get their drivers' licenses and learn English so they can find work. Most of the refugees come with little money and must survive on donations and loans until they get jobs, she said. "They need the work now. They don't want to live on donations." While many of the refugees she helped bring to Detroit are settled enough to help the latest newcomers, the Glazers and their two daughters, now 17 and 19, still do their share. "It takes a lot of work and time," said Yanina, who spends her days as a salesperson at New York Carpet World, but has been in area emergency rooms as late as 3 a.m. to help Soviet refugees. "No one could do it all by themselves. It's hard for only one or two people to do," she said. Four couples — Marvin and Alice Berlin, Irving and Ruth Kahn, Emery and Diana Klein and Irving and Barbara Nusbaum — are always there whenever the immigrants need someone to help move furniture, take care of a sick child, or give someone a ride, Glazer said. Local businesges and friends also help. "I don't even know how to thank them." She will need their help soon as 16 more Soviet Jewish acquaintances are coming to Detroit. But the Glazers are stret- ched to their limit. After these 16 refugees enter the country, the couple will reduce their resettlement activities. "I can't do it right now," she said. "I know a lot of people trying to get out. But it's not that hard any longer." She is optimistic the Soviet open door policy will continue, "although you never know with the Rus- sians." But don't expect the Glazers, who still have fami- ly in Russia, to turn Soviet Jews away. "When they ask for your help, how can you say no?" Yanina said. ❑ JCC Facility's Opening Uncertain T he opening of the new Rosenberg Recrea- tional Complex was still uncertain as of late this week. Mort Plotnick, Center ex- ecutive director, said he did not know when the multipurpose facility at the Maple-Drake Building will open. He said he was to meet this week with construction officials about the flooring problem, which has delayed the opening since September. Plotnick said the facility could open as soon as the floor is rolled and finished. He targeted it for "no later than the first of December, and probably earlier."
