Israel
Helms (Local Author)
There
is no book on the shelves of the English-speaking world
like author Israel Helms's On Both Sides of the Iron
Curtain. This captivating book unveils the life
story of an extraordinary scientist and engineer,
father, grandfather, and husband who lived long enough
to witness the major historical times of the last
century on both sides of the Iron Curtain. He was born
under the shadow of the brutal Stalinist regime at the
beginning of the gulag era, grew up in the environment
of WWII, and matured in the atmosphere of the last gasp
of the most ridiculous social formation in the history
of mankind, before he said, 'Bye-Bye, Bear, ' and
emigrated to the United States. On Both Sides of the
Iron Curtain is a convincing reminder that the devil is
still alive and waiting for us to ignore him; to pretend
he doesn't exist.
