While I Was There and Now
Gimesy, Susan
$30.00
This is an extraordinary story of courage and survival during the darkest days of World War II.
Susan Gimesy was just 15 when war came to her native Hungary, sweeping her into the horrors of the Holocaust. In her memoir, she recounts how she and other Jewish people struggled to survive those harrowing years.
After the war, she made a daring escape from Soviet-controlled Hungary, joining the countless refugees of postwar Europe. She eventually emigrated to Australia, beginning life as “a new Australian.”
Despite being swept up by the tides of 20th-century history, Susan’s life has been dramatic and colorful. Now living happily in Melbourne, she cherishes the loving circle of her family, including her four grandchildren.
