"This volume makes available to the English-speaking world a well-documented record of anti-Christian persecution and heroic martyrdom with the historians of the future will have to rank at least with the persecution of the early Christians. The book of the Reverend Dr. Ludvik Nemec, well-known Catholic priest refugee and professor from Czechoslovakia who now lives among us in the free world, takes us into the small, but beautiful and highly cultural country of Czechoslovakia. Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Slovakia, Carpatho-Ruthenia - all these provinces of Czechoslovakia have a Catholic culture and tradition that is more than a thousand years old...This is the hour of martyrdom for Czechoslovakia, the time for shedding innocent blood, and sealing faith with martyrdom. This period of heroism will furnish the basis for a renaissance of Christian and national tradition...In this contact with modern martyrs, with their example and inspiration, lies the value of this book for now and future times." - Preface by † Ambrose Leo Ondrack.
