Finding My Way Out: My Escape from Communism

0/5 ( ratings)

She was a marked woman. As a university student in Communist Czechoslovakia, like many others, she had tried to escape after the Russians sent in forces to invade her homeland in 1968. Border guards sent her back to be interrogated for the next three months. There was no equality under the Communist regime; they favoured only Communist Party members and they took their orders from one man, the Soviet President. A lot happened to convince her that there could be no future for her or her children as individual freedom was quashed and as one powerful figure decreed that citizens follow his totalitarian rule or face the consequences. This story is timely. As the world lurched towards the far-right and democracy faced savage attack, Jay Thompson decided to tell her story of living under Communism. It was after her estranged, Czech husband revealed to her his plan to 'see the world' that she knew if he did, she would be trapped. In a daring move to start a new life in a democratic country, she risked certain imprisonment by escaping to the West with her children. Fear of capture by the Secret Police travelled with her every step of the way out.
