Where to read Dancing Under the Red Star: The Extraordinary Story of Margaret Werner, the Only American Woman to Survive Stalins…Book description
Book description
Margarets son puts into writing his mothers story, using her voice / point of view. The book presents remarkable detail of her more than 30 years experience outside the US, nearly 10 of which were spent in a Stalin GULAG. In short, I found this account filled with stunning examples of how human beings can enact great horrors or great heroics when placed in extraordinary circumstances.In the late 1930s, Margarets father took a job in Russia through Ford Motor Company in an attempt to escape the crushing poverty of the US Depression. Once they were settled in Gorky, it was apparent they were in worst shape than before. A few years later, Margarets father was arrested, and Margaret herself followed a few more years thereafter. She was transfered a few places, but spent most of her time as a political prisoner in a harsh work camp / death camp (a GULAG). Even after her release, she still spent several years and several layers of red tape trying to return to America.After reading this book, I am stunned by how many freedoms and luxuries I enjoy daily when other past and present struggle under tyranny, war, disease and poverty. I have never read anything but detached, impersonal historical accounts of Stalins regime. Its incredible to think that hundreds, thousands -- really millions -- of people suffered similar conditions as those to which Margaret bears witnesses. Its clear that her determination, athleticism, and intellect aided her greatly. She also credits her mothers strong Christian faith to her ultimate release and their reunion. Margarets narrative I found quite compelling, but her son adds a few post-scripts, which jump from narrative to exhortation. I have to admit that I liked those less. Im a big advocate of show dont tell in memoirs, and these last little bits had too much telling.Overall, and insightful look into one individuals horrible journey in and out of Communist Russia in the 1940s and 1950s. An inspirational account of human triumph. May we all work to overturn and prevent this kind of tyranny in the world.
