On this episode of The Lemon Tree, Jo Alch sits down with Virginia Prodan, author of "Saving My Assassin", an incredible testimony of a woman's experience against an oppressive regime.
Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the Truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against persecution.
For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to elude her enemies time and again, but how she also helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu’s evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories written.
