The only country in the world with a line in its national anthem as desperate as “this people has already suffered for its past and its future,” Hungary is a nation defined by poverty, despair, and conflict. Its history, of course, took an even darker and more tragic turn during the Holocaust. But the story of the Jews in Hungary is also one of survival, heroism, and even humor—and that is the one acclaimed author Adam Biro sets out to recover in One Must Also Be Hungarian, an inspiring and altogether poignant look back at the lives of his family members over the past two hundred years.
The story of a Hungarian-Jewish woman who experienced WWII and the October Revolution…eventually emigrating to Canada.
A gripping and moving novel. It is based on a true story about two women faced with trials and tribulations during war torn Europe. Politics (perscution of Hungarian Jews during World War II), poverty, and love separated them and forced them to move from one country to another until they eventually reunited again in Canada.
Each day is a struggle to survive…
About the Author: I grew up in a small, peaceful Canadian town, listening to the stories of my immigrant parents’ childhood experiences. Their courage and determination provided me with opportunities that many of their generation were denied. In discussing the large events that shaped the great wars, the impact on the little people is often overlooked. The course of millions of lives was changed, and millions of people suffered hunger, poverty, and torture. I feel that it was important to tell a few of their stories before they are forgotten.
