It was under these conditions that Jana Jenkins took\u003cbr\u003e her children and dared the impossible: leaving Soviet\u003cbr\u003e Czechoslovakia.\u003cbr\u003e Travel to the West out of Czechoslovakia was governed by\u003cbr\u003e complicated rules to ensure citizens did not defect. Parents\u003cbr\u003e were able to leave the country for short visits to the West, \u003cbr\u003e but children were left behind to ensure their return.\u003cbr\u003e Attempting to leave the country with children was classified\u003cbr\u003e as a criminal act, and punishable by removing the children\u003cbr\u003e and sending the parents to prison. This was the risk when\u003cbr\u003e Jana and her three children boarded a train for West Germany\u003cbr\u003e in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e She didn't know God at the time and carried the burden of\u003cbr\u003e this risky decision on her shoulders. She was afraid, but God\u003cbr\u003e had a date with her on the other side of the Iron Curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 364\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 27, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749623595296,"sku":"9781640883413","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/35ad7d229d4961e7acb652b7ab0a0c25.webp?v=1779935131","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/breaking-through-the-iron-curtain-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
