This book deals with the political history of Hungary in the mid 20th Century. It focuses on Hungary’s Jewish population mass murdered by the Nazis in the 1940’s leaving a gnawing emptyness in the center of the nation’s fabric. The Nazi regime was followed by the brutality of communism. The story is told through the eyes of Mike — the husband of the author — who was brutalized by these two regimes, losing a part of his family, his personal liberty and every material possession he had. After immigrating to the States the difficulties of his life in the States is told; up until the day he finally found success in America even graduating Magna cum Laude from college at age 52.
