My Journey Home: Life After the Holocaust

My Journey Home commences with the author’s childhood during the Holocaust in Hungary, when almost 500,000 of the resident Jews were deported and killed in Auschwitz. In Budapest, about 150,000 survived the German occupation as well as the dictatorship of the Hungarian National Socialists, which took over the power in October 1944: Ozsváth’s family belonged among those who lived. The author describes their life after the war in Communist-ruled Hungary, and her flight, together with her husband, to Germany and later to the USA. Ozsváth’s poignant story of survival, friendship, and love provides readers with a rare first-hand account of her extraordinary journey.
