My Journey Home

In the spring of 1944, nearly 500,000 Jews were deported from the Hungarian countryside and killed in Auschwitz. In Budapest, only 150,000 Jews survived both the German occupation and dictatorship of the Hungarian National Socialists, who took power in October 1944. Zsuzsanna Ozsvths family belonged among the survivors. This memoir begins with the the authors childhood during the Holocaust in Hungary. It captures life after the wars end in Communist-ruled Hungary and continues with her and her husbands flight to Germany and eventually the United States. Ozsvths poignant story of survival, friendship, and love provides readers with a rare glimpse of an extraordinary journey.
