Year 1952 (english subtitles)

Short documentary movie about the year 1952 and the Seventh-day Adventist Church in former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

"From 1945 onwards, the Seventh-day Adventist Church had complete freedom, but after the advent of the totalitarian regime in 1948, we felt a great tightening of the screws. At the start of 1952, various pieces of information filtered through that something was going to happen. And so on the 1st of October 1952, all church activities were shut down.
"On the 1st of October 1952, the regional people's committees withdrew state approval, which had been granted for the establishment of all religious congregations of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. The movable and immovable assets of the Adventist Church were transferred to state ownership."

Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that there is no church building, no pastors, no books and Bible to read, no money left, no more religious freedom?

Listen and watch pastor Jiri Drejnar - remembering those days in 1952 and other historians how they describe the events that happend 61 years back.
