A bilingual memoir by a Holocaust survivor from Hungary about his survival during the war and the adventurous life he leads in its aftermath.
As a young boy in Budapest, Hungary, Andrew Fuchs spends his days playing with his friends, getting into mischief and enjoying time with his parents and older sister. But at eight years old, Andrew sees his carefree childhood vanish when Germany occupies Hungary. After his parents are taken away for forced labor, Andrew is passed between children's homes before waiting out the Siege of Budapest in a building protected by the Red Cross. With the war's end comes the devastating news that he is an orphan, yet he strives to hold on to his mischievous spirit as he rebuilds his life.
Andrew (Endre) Fuchs was born in March 1936 in Budapest, Hungary. He escaped during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, finding refuge in Austria and Switzerland before immigrating to Canada in 1958. Andrew now lives in Montreal, where he has been a volunteer for many years.
