The story of Cardinal Josef Mindszenty, a Roman Catholic cardinal from Hungary who spoke out against both the German occupation of his country during World War II and the Communist regime that replaced it after the war. Mindszenty was arrested, tortured, and eventually released, but was persecuted to the extent that he wound up taking refuge in the US Embassy in Budapest for many years, still acting as a spokesman for the Hungarians who wanted the Soviet occupation forces and their Hungarian collaborators out of the country.
