The Shamrock And The Swastika PDF Download

My dad fully surrendered his life completely to God as his Lord and Master in 1994. He had always trusted and prayed for safety as he was a prisoner, and had many tangible answers. He had kept his Presbyterian Hymn book with the Psalms next to his heart. Dad never let the enemy demoralize him, understood mercy in time of need, knew love because of the hatred he witnessed, experienced sacrifice due to a compelling cause and knew heroism in a time of desperate pleas. He saw firsthand and described the Jewish concentration camp hidden in the woods in Poland. He defied the Nazi's several times, risking his life for others. Without suffering there would be no such virtuous overcomers as Corrie Ten Boom, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill or my dad, Horace Johnson. Dad's strength, wisdom and stubborn will and clever deception of the enemy were gifts from the Lord. He was not perfect, as his writings describe his weakness. He had to kill to love. Dad learned that a loving God has entrusted him to go through such difficult times because he was a man of honor and integrity, because he could be trusted. God forgave him of his past. His real life's work was this manuscript, dedicated to honor the ordinary, but immeasurably brave people who helped him to escape from the enemy. It is with great appreciation and honor that I am privileged to present this incredible, but true account of my father's life as he escaped from the Nazi net.
