The Communists prosecuted believers in their lands.

They tried to eradicate all traces of religion.

There are stories about prosecuted believers, burying copies of the Qur’an, under the earth, in their basements. They would unearth the book, blow away the dust and read it to their children in secret.

Communism fell, Communists vanished – but faith remained.
