About the Book

This is the story of three Hungarian boarding schools (1945-1956), established by Hungarian refugees living in post-WWII Germany. As seen through the eyes of the youth who attended these schools, this chronicle paints a vivid picture of everyday refugee life in crammed barracks with little food to eat. Since no official records from this time exist, the author and several former students have painstakingly culled the schools' histories from diplomas, old photographs, mementos and firsthand accounts from their youth. Theirs is a heroic story of teachers and students who fled the Soviet occupation of their homeland and stood together in the harshest of times to preserve their national identity. The book includes the life stories of over 120 students, many of whom went on to lead successful professional lives on three continents.
About the Author: Lajos Koncz, the author and editor, was born in Hungary. At the age of 8, his family fled the country ahead of the Soviet occupation following WWII. He grew up in Germany where he attended one of the Hungarian boarding schools described in this book, and went on to complete his studies and medical training in Munich. He immigrated to the US in 1969 and practiced medicine in Boston, MA for 35 years. Dr. Koncz organized and led a group of Hungarian professionals to form the Harvard Circle, a Hungarian-American cultural organization which brought prominent artists, writers and political dissidents to the Boston area. Dr. Koncz has published Hungarian musical recordings as well as poetry and prose by noted Hungarians. Now in retirement, he continues to write and publish with his wife about the cultural history and politics of Hungary and the Hungarian-American community. He has three adult children, all of whom speak Hungarian.
