This is a continuation of my reading of Victor Herman’s book, Coming Out Of The Ice, An Unexpected Life, out of print for some time. Just a reminder of why I am doing this. I consider this book to be extremely important, because it is a glimpse into what we can expect if we do not resist the oncoming tyranny. Victor Herman, in discussing his experiences in the Soviet gulag emphasized: “Don’t think it can’t happen here.” And, it is now happening here.
The series begins here.
This chapter picks up where the last chapter left off, in 1943. In this chapter Victor describes a pivotal incident in this whole experience.
This is Victor’s sketch of the setting of this chapter.
Victor reaches his breaking point, but is not broken. Somehow, although damaged, he emerges even more resilient.
The reading is here. As always, I hope you appreciate Victor’s words.
