East Wind: A Survivor's True Story of Faith in the Gulag of WWII

East Wind is the incredible story of Maria Zeitner Linkeâ€”of her indomitable spirit and courageous faith as she faced the death camps and prisons of Stalinâ€™s Russia. â€œOnly one who has felt the nearness of death can truly be grateful for each new day, no matter how much suffering it might bring.â€ Thus speaks Maria Linke, survivor of nine yearsâ€™ imprisonment in the death camps and prisons of Stalinâ€™s Russia following World War II. There have been many â€œGod is faithful amid the horrors of warâ€ stories, and although East Wind fits this description, it is far more than just another war story. The unusual aspects of Mariaâ€™s life make this book so arrestingly different. The winsome portrait of a childhood lived on the banks of the Volga River as the daughter of a wealthy pre-Revolution German industrialist . . . The tragedy of banishment to Siberia and life among the nomadic tribes there . . . The flight from a burning Cossack village and escape to Germany during the Russian Revolution . . . Teen years in lively Berlin . . . World War II and her work as an interpreter in the labor camps of Germany . . . Her arrest as a spy by the advancing Russian armies . . . Miraculous escapes from death . . . Romance . . . The infamous Waldeheim trials . . . And transcending it all, the rare sense of humor that could find laughter in the most horrible of circumstances. East Wind is a powerful book. Historically, its scope is broad. Spiritually, its impact is tremendous. It will be a long time before you find another story that will move you as much as Mariaâ€™s.
