John Noble - I Was a Slave in Russia - Lost 1962 Speech

John H. Noble (1923-2007) and his family, hailing from Detroit, owned a camera factory (Practika) and other businesses in Germany. They were caught in Germany when World War II broke out and interred through the war by the Nazis. After the war ended, Noble and his father were arrested by Soviet occupation forces in Dresden. They were held in the NKVD special camp Nr. 2, located at the former Buchenwald death camp, on bogus espionage charges. His father was released in 1952, but Noble was sentenced to an additional 15 years and transferred to the Vorkuta Gulag in Siberia, located 50 miles above the Arctic Circle. He was given the number "Slave No. 1-E-241". During his imprisonment, he was forced to perform hard labor in the mines on starvation rations. In 1955 he managed to smuggle out a postcard with a cryptic message, which reached his family in the United States. President Dwight D. Eisenhower then personally intervened to secure his release. After his return to the U.S., Noble became an anti-Communist speaker and author. While some of his material remains available and he was the subject of a German documentary, this important speech from around 1961-62, in which he testifies to the atrocities he witnessed at the hands of the Russians, has not been publicly available until now. (It is not the speech released as an LP.) Transfer from open reel tape and audio restoration 2026 Doctor Potchke. We can upload more cold-war-era anti-Communist audio if there’s interest.
