Review
This steely account of a childhood on the run, first from the Nazis and then as a refugee in postwar Europe, serves as a fitting memorial to the author, who died in December 1996, shortly before the book was published. Magda Denes settled in America and became a psychoanalyst, which may explain her total lack of sentimentality about her youthful self. The fierce emotions of childhood--exacerbated in this case by the danger she faced as a Jew in fascist Hungary--have seldom been better portrayed.
About the Author
Magda Denes is a professor in the postdoctoral programs in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy at Adelphi University and New York University, and a faculty member and supervisor in the department of psychiatry at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1944, Magda Denes was ten years old and living in Budapest with her mother, adored brother Ivan, grandparents, aunt and cousin Erwin. Hungarian Jews were finding their lives more and more desperate, Indiscriminately murdered, tortured and abused by the brutal occupying German forces, they were barricaded into underground ghettoes. Magda's grandfather died of starvation. Ivan and Erwin, both resistance fighters, were shot. Somehow the depleted family escaped, made their way to Spain, and then by boat to the free world - to America, and to a new life. This is an account of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, narrated from the view of a precociously brilliant child. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001453267
