One reason why little in the media is devoted to the crimes of Communism but the crimes of the Nazis are so commonplace in the media is that for much of the left the Communists weren't such bad people. They were trying to right the wrongs of Capitalism but some Communists went a little too far. Nikita Khrushchev and Hubert Humphrey and Clement Attlee had a lot of things to agree on. If it wasn't for those meanies on the right like John Wayne and Ronald Reagan, the forces of the left might have prevailed and the world would be a happy and safe place, there would a piece of tofu or bowl of bran on every dinner plate, and the people would ride bikes to work instead of automobiles.

It is so important to keep these stories alive. I was blessed as a child to know Richard Wurmbrand who spent 14 years tortured for Christ in a Romanian prison. He was a dear friend of my dad's, Dave Hunt, and stayed in our home when he came to America to testify before Congress. To have spent time with a true martyr, to look into his eyes, and hear his story and that of his wonderful wife from their own lips changed my life.

In 1967, my family smuggled Bibles into Romania, my dad praying God would blind the eyes of the guards at every checkpoint and he did. I will never forget the tears of joy when we delivered the Bibles.

Wurmbrand said the same as the message if this film, these courageous men and women tried to warn the West and we didn't listen.

I don't think we can stop the tide but we must never stop telling their stories. The day will come when we will have to make such tough choices as they did and I pray we are up to the task.
