KF Church To Hear Speaker Peter Van Woerden, 30-year old native of Holland and formitr pris oner of the Nazi Gestapo, will speak at the Klamath Temple Tuesday evening, April 6, at 7:30 p.m., on how Imprisonment and persecution during world war H eventually led him Into the minis try. , . According to Van Woerden, It was his exceptional talent for play ing the organ that first sent him to prison. He became a concert oiganist at the age of 17, and con tinued to study and play during the German occupation of The Nether lands, which began in 1940. On the second anniversary of the German occupation, Van Woerden boldly played the Dutch national anthem at a Sunday service In the Dutch Reformed Church where he was organist. His patriotism im mediately landed him in an Am sterdam jail. While m prison, his mother smuggled a copy of the New Testa ment to him and continued reading of this made him decide ultimately to become a minister for Christ. Van Woerden recently completed an autobiographical novel, "In the Secret Place," which tells of his fnmily and their years under the Nazis. - Following his talk at the Klam ath Temple Tuesday evening.
