We called the soup they gave us 'Volga' because it was nothing but water. On this diet the prisoners were expected to do heavy labor -mostly cutting lumber in the forest around the camp. Nonetheless, I succeeded in carrying out my mission as a priest-secretly. A Hungarian turner who was Catholic found a tiny aluminum cylinder, and out of it made a chalice so small that...
