On July 11th of this year, the streets throughout the island of Cuba erupted with chants of “Libertad! Libertad!”. Immediately, both Cuban communist state media and their leftist allies in the free democracies framed the protests as actually being about such issues as Covid 19 or opposition to the US embargo. Historian and author Victor Triay comes Back By the Woodpile to give us the bigger, clearer picture of what lay at the heart of the peoples’ cries.

In the Corner Back By the Woodpile #250: Carlos Eire's Flight From Cuba
Thursday Jul 15, 2021
Thursday Jul 15, 2021
In the early 1960’s as the Castro regime began to transform Cuba into a socialist, militarist regime, part of that including training children to become atheist Marxists soldiers. And so a plan was quietly hatched by those on and off the island to get as many children out as soon as possible. The result was Operation Padro Pan, an exodus of Biblical proportions that helped over 14,000 children flee the increasingly ruthless communist party rule. One of those children, Dr. Carlos Eire, wrote of his experiences in the books Waiting for Snow in Havana and Learning to Die in Miami and joins us Back By the Woodpile to talk about both his experiences and the future of his suffering homeland.
