1 készleten
The autobiography of a Hungarian Jewish woman born in 1916 in Pecs. The book detailes her experiences with her son in the ghetto of Budapest from April 1945 until liberation by the Russians. Her husband was shot by the Germans in February 1945. She and her son escaped to Canada in 1956.
Charles traded hand grenades with other kids like one would trade baseball cards. At the age of twenty-one, he escaped from Communist Hungary to Canada via Communist Yugoslavia, and in the same year he was hit by lightning three times on the same farm. Charles has lived his life by his magical three D’s: Desire, Determination, and Drive.
The novel brilliantly captures the challenge of growing up in two different worlds: Hungarian and American. The inability to feel totally at home in either environment, the loneliness of being without relatives in America, and the deeply-felt isolation of leading a marginal existence within the boundaries of two cultures
