U.S. Denying Refuge to Hundreds Of Jews Leaving USSR NEW YOra (JTA) - For the first time, American immigration officials are challenging the refugee stat us of Soviet Jewish emigres, with the result that hundreds of them may not be allowed to come to the U.S. The challenges are oc curring in Rome, usually the next-to-last stop for Soviet Jews intent on coming to the U.S. There, 179 Soviet Jews have been denied refugee visas since September. In addition, more than 300 “de- layniks” are said to be in limbo in Rome, awaiting a decision by immigration of ficials that was once auto matic for Soviet Jews. Both State and Justice officials said that those de nied refugee visas could en ter the U.S. as public interest “parolees.” Parolees must show an affidavit of support from a sponsor in the U.S. stating that the applicant will not be a liability on the public welfsure system. According to the Refugee Act of 1980, the State Depart ment provides the Immigra tion and Naturalization Ser vice with guidance on the political situation of a coun try’s citizens. The State De partment each year sets a ceiling on the number of refugee visas available worldwide. This year, the quota is 94,000, of which only 84,000 slots are fully funded. Only 16,000 of those slots have been set aside for all Soviet refugees: Jews, Ar menians, Pentecostal Chris tians and ethnic Germans. Thornburgh Takes Steps To Allow More Soviet Jews in U.S. Attorney General Richard Thornburgh took steps to allow up to 2,000 Soviet emigres per month to enter the U.S. on the attorney general’s parole authority, including all Jewish emi grants now in Rome. In addition, the Justice Department will allow “im migrant class” entry to a “limited number of appli cants who face special cir cumstances.” Thornburgh announced this interim measure in re sponse to a request from Secretary of State George Shultz that something be done to help Soviet citizens who are unable to get visas to the U.S. because of the U.S. budget crunch.

Many still will not speak — the wounds of the past are too painful to reopen. Others do talk: as if, in some way, talking about their experiences helps to heal the wounds. Profiled are people from different countries, with var ied backgrounds. One is re tired, another is a university professor. Two were Ameri can servicemen who helped liberate the camps. One is an American woman who, as a child, watched as her grand mother sent money to Po land every month to help her relatives escape — only to discover at the end of the war that the Nazis used that very money against the Jews. Another is an artist, whose experiences are reflected in her work. Despite their varied back grounds and livelihoods, all share a common bond — a need to uphold the rights of individuals to make their own decisions regarding their personal beliefs. There is also a real love for life, a love for art, music, education — and most of all, for Peace. • Editor's note: ProGled in the film are Fred and Use Bergen, William Eskridge, Henry Hirschmann, Isaac Lepek, Marianne Lieber- man, Irving Mond, Celia Scher, James Schrum and Susan Cemyak-Spatz.
