The Escape is a true story about courage, willpower, persistence and trust in God. Gustavo Nadasi was born in 1931 in Budapest, Hungary. He was raised in a loving family along with an older brother. Things seemed to be going "normal" in Gustavo's young life until sometime in 1943, when the threats of Nazism/Communism started slowly creeping their way into his life and the life of his loved ones. At only 12 years old Gustavo witnessed the atrocities performed at Hitler's command, as well as survived bombings and cold blooded murders right in front of his young eyes. At the age of 19, Gustavo started attending the Budapest University and while there, something happens that eventually changes his life forever... Because of this incident at the university, Gustavo finds himself having no choice but to flee his own country in search of freedom. This story will take you through the breathtaking details of Gustavo's escape, having to swim across the Danube River and literally go days without any food, amazingly and miraculously making his way through the borders of communism, and eventually setting foot on "free land". This book will make you feel as if you were there at each moment of his journey, while Gustavo tries so desperately to conquer the impossible, and through his own willpower and faith in God, makes it out alive. This story will touch your heart in many ways. Just open the first pages of this book and enter the world of Gustavo's "escape"; you won't be able to put it down and your life will be forever changed.

Germany's invasion of Hungary in 1944 marked the end of a culture that had dominated Central Europe from the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth. In this poignant memoir, Charles Farkas offers a testament to this vanished way of life—its society, morality, personal integrity, wealth, traditions, and chivalry—as well as an eyewitness account of its destruction, begun at the hands of the Nazis and then completed under the heel of Soviet Communism. Farkas's recollections of growing up in Budapest, a city whose grandeur embraced—indeed spanned—the Danube River; his vivid descriptions of everyday life in Hungary before, during, and after World War II; and his ultimate flight to freedom in the United States remind us that behind the larger historical events of the past century are the stories of the individual men and women who endured and, ultimately, survived them.

“Blending elements of memoir, history, and biography,” the son of a Holocaust survivor “portrays the horrifying reality of the . . . concentration camps” (Midwest Book Review). In June 1944, the Nazis locked eighteen-year-old Dave Hersch into a railroad boxcar and shipped him from his hometown of Dej, Hungary, to Mauthausen Concentration Camp, the harshest, cruelest camp in the Reich. After ten months in the granite mines of Mauthausen’s nearby sub-camp, Gusen, he weighed less than 80lbs, nothing but skin and bones. Somehow surviving the relentless horrors of these two brutal camps, as Allied forces drew near Dave was forced to join a death march to Gunskirchen Concentration Camp, over thirty miles away. Soon after the start of the march, and more dead than alive, Dave summoned a burst of energy he did not know he had and escaped. Quickly recaptured, he managed to avoid being killed by the guards. Put on another death march a few days later, he achieved the impossible: he escaped again. Using only his father’s words for guidance, Jack Hersch takes us along as he flies to Europe to learn the secrets his father never told of his time in the camps. Beginning in the verdant hills of his father’s Hungarian hometown, we accompany Jack’s every step as he describes the unimaginable: what his father must have seen and felt while struggling to survive in the most abominable places on earth. “This deeply personal and extremely informative portrait of a man of indomitable will to live, as Hersch emphasizes, reminds us of why we must never forget nor trivialize the full, shocking truth about the Holocaust.”—Booklist
