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 tells of his experience with interrogation. It is not just about the abuse, but also the absurdity of the situation, the difficulties of controlling one’s mind irrespective of the interrogation, and, under some of the worst circumstances imaginable, the miracle of sharing.
He also tells of a scream.
The reading is here. As always, I hope you appreciate Victor’s words.
