This is an extraordinary story of courage and survival in the darkest days of World War II. Susan Gimesy was just 15 when war came to her native Hungary. Suddenly she was swept up into all the horrors of the Holocaust.

In her memoir, she tells how she and other Jewish people struggled to survive in those years. After the war, she made a daring escape from Soviet controlled Hungary and became one of Europe’s vast numbers of refugees. She finally emigrated to Australia where she began life as ‘a new Australian’. Her life story continues to be dramatic and colourful. Though swept about by the great tides of history in the 20th century, she now lives happily in Melbourne enjoying the loving circle of her family, including her four grandchildren.
