Introduction.
Andrea Nikolits N4dasdy Between a Rock and a Hardplace
A learned scholar of the 20th century wrote, late in the 1990s, that the MONSTROUS FOLLY OF COMMUNISM has ended. Monstrous yes, folly no !
Communism and the extermination of millions of people has not yet been documented in its totality, let us hope someday it will be.
This book, by Hungarian writer Andrea N. N., through a personal story, shows the "elimination'' of large segments of society by the communist regime of post W.W.n Hungary by "class cleansing " , This is , in its own cruel way, as devastating as all other ethnic cleansing. There were millions of stories that unfolded in the communist world, unleashed by the Soviet regime and its puppets, millions of stories of human suffering and the ingenuity to survive. Millions This is one of them.
The portrait is one of extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, The writing style is excellent: full of detail and anecdote, thoughtful and shot through with ironic humour - a thing, as she notes, necessary for survival in such circumstances, Hungarian life in the mid-20th century is vividly drawn, making this a description of a very important chapter of the last hundred years. However this is ultimately a book about more general human themes: homeland, exile, belonging, family and the hope of repatriation. It is the individual, her determination and sense of humour, in the face of a hostile environment that make or break the spirit of human beings.
It is a must for those who want to understand the timeless issues of humanity in the past, today and in the 21st century.
