I am sure future generations will love to know about that.<BR/><BR/>I remember reading somewhere that there where thousands baha'is in Vietnam before 1975.<BR/>How could they live during the war? How hard was their lifes? What kind of problems did they face and how did they overcome such problems?<BR/><BR/>I would like to preserve some of the memories of the Baha'is who lived in the former Portuguese African colonies before the independence. I know some of them where persecuted and arrested by the police. And the first African Baha'i martyr died at the hands of the Portuguese political police. His name was Eduardo Vieira, and he was from Guinea-Bissau. It happened on the 31st March 1966Marco Oliveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869587541406850153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566664.post-1319481950953841992007-03-22T22:38:00.000+00:002007-03-22T22:38:00.000+00:00Marco, I have not researched online for historical...Marco, I have not researched online for historical information about the Faith in Vietnam. The periodical Baha'i News carried many stories during the 60s and early 70's about the community. It would be helpful if those stories were also in digital storage, but I don't know that they are.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for alerting me to the problems associated with my email. I use the one at my work, but it sounds like it is time for me to get a different one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566664.post-45405392884828545382007-03-22T14:57:00.000+00:002007-03-22T14:57:00.000+00:00Thank you for posting this.

I remember when I was Baha'i youth in the 1960s how impressed I was reading about the focused activities of the Vietnamese Baha'i Community occurring simultaneously with the war there. The Baha'i-supported World Religion Day would be attended by large numbers of Vietnamese of all faiths. <BR/><BR/>Our Vietnamese-Americans living in our cluster will be pleased with this news as well.GWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838277713710725518noreply@blogger.com
