The Moses of Czechoslovakia

The Moses of Czechoslovakia
Mary Jane Woodger
September 2020

In 1939, Adolf Hitler’s army invaded Czechoslovakia. Although the Church was fragile in the area, the saints were strengthened by a man who is known today as the Moses of the Czech Republic. In this episode, Professor Mary Jane Woodger shares insights from her book, Mission President or Spy, The True Story of Wallace F. Toronto, the Czech Mission, and World War II, showing how faith can survive in challenging circumstances through the influence of fearless and faithful saints. 

Publications:

Mission President or Spy, The True Story of Wallace F. Toronto, the Czech Mission, and World War II (Religious Studies Center/Deseret Book, 2019).
