A Story of Faith, Courage, and Endurance
by Catherine Allen-Walters, Elisabeth Hartig Lentulo
Kalman Hartig was born in Yugoslavia in 1930 and lived a comfortable life until it was interrupted by World War II.
By the 1950s, Yugoslavia had become a communist country. Little did he know what awaited him when he would report for the draft as a Seventh-day Adventist and a conscientious objector. A violinist, Kalman planned to perform in a symphony. Suddenly he was thrown in prison and beaten by the Kommandant who was notorious for his evil brutality. This page-turner exposes in detail Kalman's harrowing ordeal. It includes his youth growing up during World War II, and the life of his future wife. After many years of surviving the unthinkable, Kalman and Minka escaped Yugoslavia and eventually immigrated to the United States."
"A poignant story of survival, faith, and family." —Kirkus Reviews
