Christmas Carol Kauffman was born 25 December 1901 in Elkhart, IN, the second of four daughters of Abraham R. and Selena Bell (Wade) Miller. She graduated from Elkhart High School and attended Goshen College and Hesston College. She began writing at Hesson and for years she wrote one short story every month for a weekly youth magazine published by Herald Press, completing more than 100 stories.

This is a story of Christmas Carol Kauffman's remarkable life as researched and reassembled after sorting through mountains of correspondence and relived through countless hours of interviews conducted by the author. This book leads the reader through crushing trials and bitter disappointments to the quiet peace and comfort Carol always found, never failing, in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Mennonites who settled in Russia kept their language, their religion, and their culture intact. But as the nineteenth century drew to a close, Mennonite community identity was increasingly seen as a threat. There was first a drive for russification under the Czars; there then was increasing suspicion of all things German with the outbreak of the First World War; and finally the Bolshevik Revolution brought Christianity and prosperity into question. The Second World War and its brutal Stalinist aftermath succeeded in destroying life in the Mennonite colonies.

The first person accounts translated here tell the stories of people who almost miraculously survived successive waves of revolution, civil war, assassination, economic and political purges, and arbitrary arrest and banishment. The stories of these survivors are just now beginning to be published, in both German and Russian.

Sarah Dyck's selection and skillful translation of these memoirs opens a rare window through which English readers can begin to grasp the reality of life in the Soviet empire for those judged to be enemies of the People. These stories provide graphic and personal documentation of a land and a people in turmoil.
