"I felt the effects of the communist system, among other things I spent 2 months in death row and ten years in a communist concentration camp. After the fall of the totalitarian system, I was an eye-witness and participated in the subsequent religious freedom. I began to spread a thrust for faith. The rebirth of the Church is evaluated like a powerful force for the spiritual rebirth of the nation."
