In June of 1983, my wife and I, along with our four-year old daughter and two-year old son, defected from behind the Iron Curtain of communist Czechoslovakia. In the middle of a cold, rainy night, we ran for our lives across the border from communist Yogoslavia to western Austria while being chased by guards with automatic weapons. We had spent 10 years planning our escape. We had not told our families of our plan, and left them and everything we owned behind.
