Autobiography of Bishop P. M. Ngô-dinh-Thuc - Prologue by Eberhard Heller

...

Since the autobiography breaks off at the moment when Monsignor Thuc leaves for Palmar de Troya, we have included in two appendices to his brief biography and docuмents marking the stages of the end of his life, which he himself called his Calvary.


If anyone missed the full text of the Prologue on the previous page- I would recommend going back and reading it.



... any chance of finding this?  I thought that the second part of his autobiography had just not been posted, but it would appear that he simply never finished it, so that this would be incredibly helpful.

PS ... translation toward the beginning capitalizing Orthodox (in Orthodox seminary) would be incorrect.
I'm hoping I will be able to find it!  Like you said-  Abp. Thuc's  Autobiography was interrupted and left unfinished.  It seems he was working on it right around 1983 when he went to the US with Bp. Vezelis.  It looks like he left it with Dr. Heller for safekeeping- since he is still in possession of it today.  Fr. Zepeda did an excellent interview with Dr. Heller and was shown many of the Thuc docuмents he had.

Also, thank you for the correction regarding the capital O in the translation!

Here is a link to Fr. Zepeda's video:
