Comparable to Hitler’s Holocaust, Joseph Stalin’s Great Terror presided over Russia and those countries under Soviet occupation, for almost half a century. Imprisonment awaited those men and women who were thought to hold any ideologies that wavered from the goals of communism, resulting in hundreds of thousands dying, losing loved ones, or simply disappearing into the slave labor camps located in the worst of Russian climates.
To survive such conditions took a magnitude of strength, faith and hope, attributes that, in the face of human cruelty, would have been easy to lose. Yet, author Bela Gogos survived the inhumane conditions of imprisonment and forced labor within the Russian Gulag, and has told his tale of survival in "Lost Youth in Red Hell."
A young man returning to his Hungarian homeland after World War II, Bela Gogos began to rebuild his life by entering Budapest University to earn his electrical engineering degree. He was also making plans with an underground anti-communist network that was planning to retaliate against the Soviet rule in Hungary. As the story unfolds and Gogos and his group are caught and imprisoned for conspiracy, a tale of anguish, hope and faith is explored.
"Youth Lost in Red Hell" explores the depths in which humanity can lose itself when faced with power, and the courage and hope that can be found during the darkest moments of our lives.
