CRIME
A DECLARATION To Our Fellow Citizens of the United States and to the Peop
of the World, on behalf of the three million Soviet Jews unable to speak for the
selves.
We the undersigned members of the student body and faculty of the University of Michigan and
les
m-
members of the Ann Arbor community at large associate ourselves with
people
of good-will throughout
the world in condemning the suppression of Jewish spiritual life in the U.S.S.R.
Massive evidence leaves no room to doubt that the Soviet government continues to pursue actively a
program calculated to destroy the means of Jewish cultural and spiritual survival and to break the will of
its Jewish citizens to live as Jews. Such practices not only violate fundamental
human rights, but are
con-
trary to the guarantees of Soviet law and asserted policy.
Jews, alone among Soviet nationality groups, are forbidden the schools and other institutions of reli-
gious
learning, teaching and
publishing, that are
required
if their
heritage
is to be
perpetuated.
Alone
among major religious groups in the Soviet Union, Jews are forbidden the right to have a nationwide fed-
eration of congregations or of clergy. Only a systematic campaign of intimidation inhibits them from openly
protesting these iniquities.
Remaining silent is giving tacit approval to these immoral practices commited by the
Soviet govern-
ment.
We the undersigned refuse to remain silent. We demand that the Soviet government abide by that
which they guarantee by law. We call upon everyone who values human dignity, who will not allow the
Soviet
government to continue to perpetuate their discriminatory practices, to join us tomorrow, Monday,
Pt 7:30 P.M. on the Diag for a candlelight procession to the Michigan Union Ballroom. Led by Theodore
Bikel and Harold Light, we will join
to protest these
iniquities and to demonstrate
our solidarity with the
Jews of the Soviet Union.
WE WILL NOT BE GUILTY OF THE CRIME OF SILENCE !
