* Sunday, March 22!,1;970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine 1 :: -I I WEE OFF WIL NOT BE OF GUILTY SILENCE THE 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 !
