N ANTI-RUSS AN CHRI TMA by GERALD SBARBORO, '51 It is a cold Christmas in the year l946 in a small Polish village near Warsaw. Walk- ing down the coblestone street is a white- haired, stooped-shouldered Polish peasant. Years in a Russian slave camp brought this condition about, for you see this man is but 32 years old. The peaceful Christmas day is pierced by the shout of a sentry, x'Who goes there? Slowly in a broken voice the peasant re- plies, A Polanderf' The sentry questions him, then finally satisfied, lets him continue on his way. Arriving home, he greets all the family and together they sit down to their rationed Christmas dinner. At the end of the meal the children call for the age-old story of Christmas. The smil- ing-faced father tells of the trials and birth of Christ. Then according to an Old Polish custom the mother of the family brings in oplalitki, a bread made by the church, that is passed out on Christmas. Then all make a wish. The trembling father says, Mama, we are not supposed to have this. The Russian Communists will send us to a prison camp. At that second a hard knock at the door rings through the small house. Fear clutches the hearts of the little family. A Russian voice sounds, Open the door. Une of the children slowly obeys the command and a hard-faced gorilla-like Russian enters. ln a cold voice he asks: What are you doing with that bread? Without waiting for an answer he marches the family to the com- mandant. At the commandant's office a stern-faced Russian officer looks up at the poor family, asks the charges, and then says: 'll want them sent to a slave camp at once as an example for those who do not obey us. So, on this Christmas day of '46 this small Polish family spends it's sacred Christmas in a Rus- sian slave camp, praying for strength to keep their faith.
