| Packed onto train cars, idling just inside the Soviet Occupied Zone in post war Germany, the fate of over a thousand Mennonite refugees was dependent upon a single raiIway light turning green. This Anabaptist sect, who were never supposed to get this far, had endured famine, religious persecution and war. Now they were being hunted and for the train to be turned back now wouId mean imprisonment or even death. Waiting for a miracle, the Mennonite refugees had nothing left to do but pray. Pray they wouId escape long enough to board the ship waiting to take them far away, to the onIy country that wouId take them. The destination was the jungle of Paraguay. The ship was the Volendam. This documentary teIIs this fascinating, IittIe known story through first hand accounts and dramatic reenactments. lt is a story of faith and perseverance set against the troubIed geopolitical landscape of the first haIf of the 20th century. |
