Bill Basansky

His grandmother had a prophecy for Bill & his brother Alex; "God is going to take you to the Land of Milk & Honey - not just when you die, but now, in this lifetime. For next five years, in the Nazi forced labor camp & Allied refugee cams, hiding on a German farm - the words of his Grandmother haunted him. Not until is arrival in America did their meaning become clear and is the beginning of this book.

This book has been republished under another title. It is more than everything else a story of Basansky's sainted grandmother who almost by osmosis with a few good words was able to transmit Christianity in the presence of great evil during the horrible years in the Ukraine for her family. Facism under Hitler and Communism under Stalin are told from the grass roots level. Good for anyone considering the "value" of non Christian Socialism
