COURAGE – Kobo eBook

The Holocaust and the Soviet Union’s persecution of anyone opposed to Communism are two of the most sickening crimes ever inflicted upon the human race. What happened to the Christian Church during these genocides? When Nazi tanks rolled over the Polish border in 1939, the clergy were marked for death. The lucky ones were shot immediately; unfortunately, thousands were sent to camps where they were starved, abused or experimented upon. Stalin and his successors viewed Christians as a threat to communist ideology. Men and women were executed or sent to gulags where their sentences could be doubled on the most tenuous of excuses. Nazism and the Soviet Union are gone – the Christian Church remains. You are about to read how this happened. The blood and suffering of ordinary people; they redefined courage. So many died who we know nothing or little about. Here are just a few hundred men and women who deserve recognition – observe their faces, names and histories. They cannot be forgotten. A tribute to them would be to ensure that their circumstances can never be repeated.
