My
Grandfather, Ladislav Brom
By Rafael Brom
I did not have a chance to spend much time with my grandfather. The last time I saw him was when I was a small kid. Long story.
According to the description of my father my grandfather, Ladislav Brom was a genius, great businessman, mechanic, teacher, music virtuoso, and the toughest cookie you can imagine.
Very brave man. Both Nazis and Communists were afraid of him. Jailed by both dictatorships did not crush him. One of the stories my father told me about my grandfather was during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. Czech Nazi collaboration police came to his home to give him the last warning. My grandfather responded to them: "You go ahead, when war is over I'll make sure that you all hang on the tallest three". Nazis left his home scared because they knew he was not joking.
Another story is when Communists came after the Red Army invasion of Czechoslovakia. Communists confiscated his big store, warehouse, and other private property. Grandfather had to retreat to his last property big villa in the mountains. Communists came to confiscate this too in the name of social justice. He was waiting for them behind closed door with an ax in his hand and told them: "Come in you bastards, I'll take you one by one". They left him alone. They knew that he was not joking.
Before Nazis and Communists took over the country people often asked him why so rich man like him the owner of big successful business still keeps his teaching job in a local school. His answer was: "My teaching job is my bread and my business is only a mayonnaise". When Nazis and Communists confiscated all he had they could not confiscate his teaching pension. This teaching pension was the only thing left for him and his wife in old age for survival in poverty of Socialism.
He died peacefully in the age of 92.

Marx & Satan Why do the Chinese police continue to beat and imprison Christians? The father of their hatred, Karl Marx, expresses his desire to crush Christianity. This book provides an examination of Marx’s poetry, plays, correspondence and biographical accounts. PRODUCT
DETAILS Book is renamed to
Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism Price: $16.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION Karl Marx, coauthor of the revolutionary text The Communist Manifesto, grew up in a Christian family, and his early writings showed belief in a Christian worldview. Yet, in his adulthood Marx embraced a deep personal rebellion against God and all Christian values. In Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism, Richard Wurmbrand explores the development of Marx’s anti-religious perspective that led to the philosophical foundations of communism. By examining Marx’s writings as well as biographical accounts, Wurmbrand builds a convincing case that Marx adhered to a belief system which opposes God. Through Marx’s own statements, his hatred for God is revealed along with his desire for “the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions,” including abolishing all religion and all morality. Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism provides significant insight into why Christians and the church have been targeted by Marxists and Communists alike as it exposes the evil roots of a theory and government system that continue to persecute Christians today. The evidence also helps the reader answer the question of whether communism and Christianity can coexist—a question that is still relevant today.
