Sabina just wanted to have fun. But when her husband developed Tuberculosis, her life turned upside down. She was devastated not because he was sick, but because he converted to Christianity.

They were atheist Jews. How could this happen? Jesus’s talk of loving your enemies was ridiculous. Yet eventually she, too, converted, and devoted herself to rescuing Jewish children from Nazis. Following the war, Communists arrested Sabina and her husband for secret Christian activities. Imprisoned and tortured, they never relented.

The Sabina Wurmbrand movie streams in March. Christian or atheist, you’ll be inspired by this transformed woman who rescued children from death camps.

“You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:43,44
