Family Reunion Happy Event
For Man Freed by Reds
LOS ANGELES (NC)
Michael Zellner came home
last week from nearly 10 years
in communist captivity to the
family that once had given
him up for dead. For they
knew he had been sent to
Europe’s graveyard the
slave camps of the Soviet
Union.
His face was scarred from beat
ings by the MVD, Russia’s secret
police, and his memory was seared
with the horror of Soviet prison
life.
But his heart was filled with joy
and his eyes welled with tears as
he looked about him at his wife,
his son, daughter, and son-in-law.
He was home at last, beginning a
new life in a white California stuc
co here in Los Angeles.
He had not seen his family since
the day in 1944, when he had been
taken from his home in Hungary
by the Russians and placed aboard
a sealed train headed for the Sovi
et Union and slavery.
"My father was 3’. when the
Russians took him." recounted
daughter Anna. "I was nine
years old then and my brother
Michael wes 11. The Russians
took all the men from our town
between the ages of 15 end 45,
and the women between 17 and
30."
During the period of slave labor
in Russia, Michael Zellner went
down to 104 pounds. At one time,
while held in the MVW Prison in
Moscow, he was a gaunt 90 pounds
“What we had to eat was mostly
cabbage,” he said.
Today, after 16 months of free
dom, he weighs 180.
Mr. Zellner bears scars be
tween his eyes and on his tem
ples as evidence of his treatment
by the MVD.
He has memories of 14-hour in
terrogations and solitary confine
ment without clothes in a special
cell knee-deep in ice water.
And he has memories too of the
sickening dismay at thinking he
would never see his family again.
Mr. Zellner was photographed in
prison in a Hungarian army uni
form. The MVD told him the pic
ture was circulated throughout
Hungary to bring forth witnesses
to his alleged crimes against the
Soviet.
When np witnesses appeared Mr.
Zellner was released to a labor
camp again.
In 1950, the Russians sent him
back to Hungary which was now
under Communist rule. On arriv
ing, Mr. Zellner was promptly ar
rested again and placed in a Hun
garian communist labor camp.
"The Hungarian communist*
war* worse than the Russians,"
he said. “In Russia we could at
least speak German, those of us
who were of German descent. To
speak German in the Hungarian
camp meant trouble."
After three years in this camp,
he was suddenly told he was to be
expelled from the country on the
grounds he was an ethnic German.
On Oct. 27. 1953, thin and worn, he
arrived in West Germany.
His wife and two children, mean
time, had been expelled from Hun
gary in 1946 because they were
ethnic Germans. In May of 1953
they were brought to America with
the help of War Relief Services
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence by Mr. Zellner’s younger bro
ther. Joseph Zellner of Los Ange
les.
In West Germany, Michael
Zellner sought the help of th*
Church and was referred to
WRS-NCWC, which located his
family. The news that he was
alive stunned mother and chil
dren already in California.
The past year Zellner spent in
Germany awaiting completion of
arrangements to enter the U.S. He
arrived here under NCWC sponsor
ship and that of his brother, a con
tractor, and will be employed as a
carpenter.
Stocky, indestructible Mr. Zell
ner covered conditions in Rus
sia in two matter of fact phras
es: "The MVD is everywhere"
and “it is a dictatorship of the
pistol."
In Hungary, he said, “the people
are given much anti-American
propaganda but are told very little
about their own troubles.”
Mr. Zellner said that under the
regime of Matyas Rakosi 76 con
centration camps in Hungary were
filled with churchgoers. It was

common knowledge in Hungary,
Mr. Zeilner said, that the Com

wholesale arrests. However, with
Rakosi's fall from power, such ar
rests had ceased and people at

Western Deanery

DELAWARE More than 30
women, representing 11 parishes
in the 10 cities of the western

Eighth Child Born
By Caesarian Section
CAMBRIDGE, O. (NC) Dr.
Paul Huth of St. Francis Hospital
has termed the birth of an eighth
child born by Caesarian section
to Mrs. Paul Nugent here a “med
ical phenomenon.” Mrs. Nugent has
received a citation from the Par
ent-Teachers Club of St. Gabriel’s
Church, Columbus. The Nugents
belong to the St. Benedict’s par
ish here.
PTA NOTES
PORTSMOUTH—A group of jun
ior class members, under the di
rection of Sister M. Mathia, D.S.F.,
presented a short play, “It Won’t
Hurt Me,’’ at the March meeting of
the Notre Dame PTA. The play
was also given before the student
body in honor of National Catholic
Book Week.
Maureen O’Connor, president of
the Catholic Student Mission Cru
sade. gave a report on the “Books
for the Missions” drive being spon
sored by the local group.
Eugene Wamsley, PTA vice-pres
ident, presided at the meeting.
NEW PHILADELPHIA Ap
proximately 450 womer of this
city attended a spring fashion
show sponsored by the Sacred
Heart PTA last week in the
Elks’ Club auditorium. Proceeds
benefited the school health fund.
A special feature of the show
was the display of authentic cos
tumes worn in the 1920’s.
Mrs. Charles Cardani, PTA
president, was general chairman
of the event.
Because of conflict with the
Scout-O-Rama, the next meeting
of the St. Augustine parish PTA
will be held Sunday afternoon
rather than the regular meeting
date. An interesting program will
be presented in the school annex
at 3:00 p. m. Plans will be discuss,
ed for the rummage sale to take
place Apr. 12 and the Swiss steak
dinner scheduled for Apr. 17, both
projects to be sponsored by the
PTA to raise funds for the new
church.
