It is Easter Sunday, April 1945, early in the morning, maybe just dawn. We stand still, like frozen grey statues. Us. Seven hundred and thirty women, wrapped in wet, grey, threadbare blankets, standing in the rain. Our blankets hang over our heads, drape down to the soil. We hold them closed with our hands from the inside, leaving only a small opening to peer out, so that we save the precious warmth of our breath…
The memoir of an international lawyer who is held in a Communist prison under bogus pretenses in the 1950’s and is transformed into a schizophrenic through the use of a truth serum. Follow his story as he plunges into the despair of schizophrenia and re-emerges from it. The stunning part of this tale is that he remembers what happens to him.
Each day is a struggle to survive…
About the Author: I grew up in a small, peaceful Canadian town, listening to the stories of my immigrant parents’ childhood experiences. Their courage and determination provided me with opportunities that many of their generation were denied. In discussing the large events that shaped the great wars, the impact on the little people is often overlooked. The course of millions of lives was changed, and millions of people suffered hunger, poverty, and torture. I feel that it was important to tell a few of their stories before they are forgotten.
