The National Conference on Soviet Jewry has just learned that the Dorfman family of Kishinev has received permission to emigrate. The family consists of Miron, 49, his wife, Shendel, and their two daughters, Bella and Rozalia. The entire family has been very active in the struggle for emigration, writing petitions, staging hunger strikes, and suffering the consequences the Soviet authorities meted out for this, the NCSJ reported.
