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.
In this chapter Victor meets Red Loon, an experience described as “spiritual” in the middle of a freezing work camp.
In the made-for-TV movie, Red Loon is played by Willie Nelson.
The year was 1940, and Germany had conquered France in about six weeks.
The Battle of Britain, during which Germany pounded London with bombs, was ongoing. Of course, Victor had no knowledge of this at the time.
The reading is here. As always, I hope you appreciate Victor’s words.
