Paul Finch, a former Co-Administrator from the Lutheran church in El Salvador, talks about his experience during the war in El Salvador in the 1970s. Finch worked for the children who were displaced after the war, organizing activities for children who were in their shelter with his wife. The Church had open doors for whoever needed help, even when the Army of El Salvador began to settle in the church. He mentions how in the beginning of the war, the Guerillas and the Salvadorian Army used different tactics to attack one another, some more drastic than others. Citizens and anyone who were against the Salvadorian government were being tortured to death. He also discusses how he managed to get out of jail before being killed.
