last generation of Soviet Jewry
By AMOS BEN-VERED (Ha'Aretz, Angnst 20, 1965)

There is no ing and disappointment. The man Yiddish paper—except for "So-sang in Yiddish. But the song vietish Heimland" which is liter-was no longer a song. The man ary in nature.

"In this figure, who,, notwith- h^e official Soviet chMinels—the standing all its wretchedness, islP^ess and radio, which teU the
yet capable of attracting an audience, one can see the entire tragedy of Soviet Jewry," stated someone who came to Israel after spending several years in the Soviet Union. "This is today the y lion people standing on the symbol of three and a half mil-
public what they deem right.
CREATION OF REVULSION
The Yiddish singer is but one example of the official manner of presenting anything connected with Judaism: placing it is the most abject and negative light
brink of total and purposeful possible. In the whole of the So-spiritual, cultural and religious viet Union, there is but one fe-
...... male Yiddish singer who merits
being heard from the stage. All the rest are like ghosts from the past—^singers without voices, actors without talent, cantors whoi
annihilation.
The man did not attempt to engage in a lengthy argument with other travelers, who cast only random glances at the Soviet Union. Most of them belong-
barely know the prayers. The
ed. to organized groups, and they j Jews istill come to hear them; the well, v/ere shown the "display win-
nostalgia for the past and for their Jewish being draws them there. But the younger generation, examining the matter in order to take a stand of its own, is repelled by the lack of talent and by the lack of rapport with the environment. This is how the government planned it.
And this is not the State's attitude toward all religions. Even of maintaining ties with the U.S., the Baptists, who are suspected publish their own bulletin. One can buy icons and candles in every church, but Chanuka candles are not available. The Armenian Church has luxurious buildings and a youthful clergy which knows how to speak to the younger generation—and the Armenians total only 2,000. The Estonian Lithuanians, who number perhaps slightly over 1,000, have
churches in the central municipal squares. Atheist propaganda is widespread, but in respect to Jews it assumes a uniquely venomous character, not manifest with regard to others.
"PROGRESS" IN REVERSE
Religious life lies on the brink of annihilation, cultural existence has practically been destroyed. But this policy affects he private life of the individual Jew as While the  other Soviet
nationalities achieve scientific and social advancement and gradually raise their economic standard as well, it is otherwise with respect to the Jews. The Jews undergo a process of "pro-letarization". Entire classes and profession exist today in which the number of Jews can be counted by a child: the foreign service, the military, the government and the administration. The percentage of Jewish university students is lower today than it was during the Czarist period, notwithstanding the lat-ter*s oCQcial "numerous clausus" policy. Nearly all the Jewish scientists whose names are published from time to time achiev-
ed their height of fame prior to the anti-Jewish policy, towards the end of the Stalin era. Today (Continued on Page 12) See LAST GENERATION

dows" of the Russians. They visited only those cities within limits for tourists, and, perhaps out| of fear for their own safety, perhaps due to lack of time, theyj did not probe any more deeply.
THE GREAT DECEPTION
"They warn us, they say refrain from mentioning it," remarked the same traveler. "But the sentiments of Soviet Jews are not dependent upon any official policy formulated in Jerusalem or Washington. It is not, indeed, a question of physical anr nihilation. But if the present policy is perpetuated, the danger exists that boys presently growing up in Jewish families will not recognize their religion, and the ethnic unit will utterly disappear.
