But, says Ewha's President Helen Kim, "they had a hard time. The Japanese hoped we would rather die out. But we didn't die." In 1950 the Communists ran into much the same situation.

The book ranges in spirit from the last message of the member of a Communist resistance group who said: "Mankind, I have loved you. Be vigilant," to the gentle prayers of a seaman, Kim Malthe-Bruun, who, the day after he had been tortured, wrote, "Suddenly I realized how incredibly strong I am.
