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.

From the Danube to the Hudson

By: Katherine Griesz

This book is a memoir, the tale of my childhood and later years. It is also the story of my family, set against the sociological, historical and political events of the 20th century. It talks vividly about the horrors of the Holocaust in Budapest, Hungary, followed by several years of brutal Communist dictatorship and life behind Iron Curtain. It deals with the intimate personal stories of the protagonists, the enforced parting between parent and child, the loss of home, social position and financial stability and the difficulty of being an immigrant. But most of all, it is the story of enduring struggle in the face of terrible odds and the ultimate survival of the human spirit. ___________________ The cover page of the book shows the memorial called SHOES ON THE DANUBE representing the shoes Jewish victims were ordered to leave behind, before being shot into the Danube.
