Lord Russell Charges Russia With Not Keeping Promises
LONDON, (JTA)—The situation of Soviet Jews is "one of those tragic anomalies that exerdse ,the concern of those who are steadfastly opposed to the cold war and seek greater understanding betvyeen the nations;" Lord Bertrand Russell, the famous British philosopher, declared here.
He made that statement in a lengthy message to the national conference of the Bifitish section of the World Jewish Congress, which convened her^,'"Tlie irony
of this situation is that Soviet Jews, STirvivors of a people, whos^ destrucuon was ia priority of Nazi Germany's war aims, are still factag the problem! of na¬ tional survival," He added.
REOAIXINO, THE fate that befell the Soviet Jews under the late Josef,Stalin, Ikird Russell stated: "In 1948, Stelto and his secret police executed'the Jew¬ ish creative tatelligeiitsia and totally destroyed Jewish institu- tlohs — jpublishing houses, schools, theaters and every ves¬ tige of national existence but- side the synagogue. Destaitalza- tion has brought little hnprova- mentr^Jews still have no schools, no national theaters and no sec¬ ular,  communal  tastitutions." .
"Although restitution was fre¬ quently promised in 1956 and 1957," Lord Russell conttaued, "only token symbpls of culture have bieen permitted — a hand¬ ful of books ta the Yiddish lan^ guage published ta small edi¬ tions and exploited.as.reassuring propaganda abroad; one monthly Yiddish magaztae^ one.or two dramatic, groups and atey^^tpyxe-: ¦¦-tag''3^i^1Fsmgerel "Tfiis^^ sents the total.cultural resources of 3,000,000 people traditionally regarded as one of the most talented   and   creative   Jewish
communities In-the world. Stresses Inequality ta Treatment ot  Jews   ta   tbe  Soviet  Union
"A comparison with other Soviet nationalities exposes the basic injustice of their situation, for' even: thei smallest national groups ta the Soviet Union are given the opportunity to.pursue a cultural, social and political life of their own, denied tp Jews."
Tumtag to the suppression of religion affecttag Soviet Jevinry,' Lord Russell declared. "Al- thouigh the anti-religious cam¬ paign in the USSR is directed against all religions, it is prose¬ cuted with exceptional severity against Judaism. Propaganda against the Jevirish religion often assumes a character of racial anti-Semitism as in writing of Kitchko, Mayatsky and Osperov. The closure of synagogues has been   conducted   rutlilessly.
"AT mE TIME of the OO'
tober Revolution, there vrere some 3,000 synagogues in the Soviet Union. By 1956, accordtag to a Soviet report to the United Nations, only 450 remataed. Sini^ .then,. j^,, flurtfter. j?54i haye. Been tibsed arid many; cities wdth large Jewish populations have no places. of worship available at all. Religious life is addition¬ ally htadered by the denial to
Judaism of essential facilities available to other recognized Soviet religions, to the extent that makes.it impossible to prac¬ tice Judaism with the freedom guaranteed by the Soviet Con¬ stitution.
Says Soviet (Qoyemment
Prevents Reunification of Jewish Families
"It is particularly tragic that the Soviet authorities have still taken no steps to end the sepa¬ ration of members of Jewish families disunited ta appalltag circumstances during the Nazi war. As a result of repatriation agtreements between the USSR and other Communist countries in Eastem Europe, most of these problems have been solved in regard to Poles, Rumanians and Germans who were allowed to re¬ settle in their own countries, niany Germans betag permitted to Join relatives in Westem Germany.
