Through the Red Gate DVD

Description Peter Bargen was just seven years old when he and his family narrowly escaped the Russian Gulag and almost certain death. Those relatives who remained in the USSR were not so fortunate. During Joseph Stalin’s reign, between 45-60 million people, among them thousands of Mennonites, perished through enforced exile, execution, famine and disease. ​Now in a story that crosses continents and binds together generations, the discovery of a cache of rare and long-forgotten letters reveals the terrifying details of the fate of many families. Moyra Rodger & Ruth Derksen Siemens
