In fact, the 20 Soviet students who attended con- stituted the largest single delegation at the World Union of Jewish Students convention, held in Ashkelon, Israel. Soine 250 students came from India, New Zealand, Ecuador, Portugal, the United States and elsewhere. The students addressed the problems and challenges facing the Jewish communi- ty, both in the East and West. They came to the con- clusion that oppression has not been limited to Jews of the East. Citing Arthur Hertzberg's thesis in his new book The Jews in America, the dele- gates resolved that "a com- munity that is ravaged by the twin forces of assimila- tion and intermarriage can be identified as 'Jewry in distress.'

Addressing a news con- ference, Zevi asked the Church to make une- quivocally clear its intention to honor an agreement to relocate the Carmelite con- vent presently on the grounds of the former Auschwitz death camp in Poland.
