Breaking Through The Iron Curtain

THE IRON CURTAIN WAS THE POLITICAL, MILITARY, AND IDEOLOGICAL BARRIER ERECTED BY THE SOVIET UNION AFTER WWII sealing itself and its dependent eastern and central European allies off from open contact with the West and other non-communist areas. It was under these conditions that Jana Jenkins took her children and dared the impossible: leaving Soviet Czechoslovakia. Travel to the West out of Czechoslovakia was governed by complicated rules to ensure citizens did not defect. Parents were able to leave the country for short visits to the West, but children were left behind to ensure their return. Attempting to leave the country with children was classified as a criminal act, and punishable by removing the children and sending the parents to prison. This was the risk when Jana and her three children boarded a train for West Germany in 1970. She didn't know God at the time and carried the burden of this risky decision on her shoulders. She was afraid, but God had a date with her on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
