Their story is told in ?Interrupted Lives: Catholic Sisters Under European Communism,? a one-hour documentary distributed on Sunday, September 13 to ABC-TV stations and affiliates.
Interrupted Lives explores the experiences of Greek and Roman Catholic Sisters of Eastern and Central Europe, sisters who at the end of World War II were trapped under Soviet domination as Josef Stalin seized control.
