Hope in Hard Times: Emöke Tapolyai

"Trust was not something that we had automatically. I remember constantly thinking and analyzing people. Are they the ones that I should trust or not? Are they safe or not safe? And not safe can mean you're not going to be able to study all the way to you will go through severe persecution to the point of death."

We talk to Emöke, our friend and David's colleague about growing up under communist times in Hungary. She shares about how she finds hope in really dark times.
