Annotation: "A Candle Burned" In 1929, when Yelena was 13 years old, she and her mother and father were exiled to Siberia. Her father was dying and decided that he should try to escape the Soviet labor camp. He made it out alive, by the grace of God, and then Yelena and her mother also fled - and survived. But only after walking across Siberia for one year to reach a train station. When asked how they survived the rugged Siberian winter when they were clothed only in rags, with lice covering them from head to toe, Yelena says ringingly clear: "GOD HELP US!" Yelena's story is one that still brings a tear to her eye - 78 years later. For A Candle Burned, Jerry Guibor interviewed friends of his who were born into Soviet oppression and survived those terrible times to find there is a living God who loves them. Others stubbornly cling to their atheistic upbringing. Nevertheless, their stories are just as compelling.
