"It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners, as it is in captive nations today. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their terms. It was a deal: we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching; they were happy beating us - so everyone was happy."
- Richard Wurmbrand (1909-2001), a Romanian Jew converted to Christ, imprisoned in solitary confinement for 14 years under the Communists, author of Tortured for Christ and founder of Voice of the Martyrs.
