Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who founded Voice of the Martyrs in 1967, was born.
on March 24, 1909 in Bucharest, Romania. While he was still young his parents both.
died. He grew up a bitter orphan, and at the age of 14 he was a convinced and determined.
atheist. On October 26, 1936 he married Sabina Oster. Later that year while they were.
on vacation, Richard and Sabina were converted and became believers in the Christian.
faith.
Because Richard and Sabina were in charge of a Protestant church in Romania.
they were arrested several times by the Nazis. Although they were beaten and abused.
many times while captive to the Nazis, Wurmbrand said that the Nazi terror was only a.
taste of what came under the Communists. These arrests forced them to start an.
Underground Church which met secretly. Even though they met secretly, they were still.
very bold about sharing the Gospel on the streets. One Sunday on February 29, 1948.
Wurmbrand was on his way to church when he was stopped by the secret police, shoved.
into a van, and taken captive for more than eight years. .
While he was captive, his wife was visited by secret police who told her that they.
had attended his burial. As a prisoner, Wurmbrand experienced incredible amounts of.
torturing himself and saw others being constantly tortured too. Once a man Wurmbrand.
knew was badly beaten and thrown back into his cell. Then starving rats were fed through.
a large pipe into his room forcing him to defend himself or the rats would attack him. .
Other times prisoners were put into ice-box refrigerator cells and nearly frozen to death. .
As soon as the prison doctors saw symptoms of freezing to death they would give a signal,.
and guards would rush in to take out the prisoners and make them warm. As soon as they.
were warm, they would be forced back into the ice-box cells again. This freezing to.
within a minute of death and then thawing out was repeated many times. .
