the world they have left behind

Authentic, few words wasted, chilling, a nightmare retold. A warning about how communism can eat a country and kill people. The depth of common men committing senseless crimes against each other described by a survivor. A warning against being complacent in the face of totalitarianism. Don't trust any totalitarian communist regime in a large country, or in a small country.This is the real memory of a humble man, not made up. Kopasci was a compassionate man, but he has seen the horrors.To understand Hungary between 1945 and the 1970s, this is an important book to read.If your parents have fled Hungary in 1956, this may help you understand. Buy a copy to keep in the family. Don't forget.
