With God in Russia

Book • 1997
This memoir details Walter Ciszek's experiences as a Catholic Jesuit priest who conducted clandestine missionary work in the Soviet Union.

Arrested in 1941 and sentenced to hard labor, Ciszek endured brutal conditions in Moscow prisons and Siberian labor camps.

Despite the hardships, he continued to practice his faith, offering secret masses and confessions to fellow prisoners.

The book chronicles his daily life, labor, and unwavering faith, culminating in his release in 1963 through a prisoner exchange.
