Blink of an Eye: the Journey of a Refugee Karl J Landesz

"This book is about my life journey. I came a long way, starting out in the Middle East, and then my journey took me thru Europe, before I arrived here to the ?promise land?. I have lived under Fascism, Communism and now Capitalism. I experienced first hand the three ways of life in the twentieth century. As a young person I survived the bombings in Hungary during World War II, the long train ride to Germany, and the life in the Camp and begging in the street for food so that we can have another day to live. I lived thru the 1956 Hungarian uprising against communism and the dictatorship they stood for, survived the escape after the Russian Army invaded Hungary that crashed the peoples hope for a better future. All this experience made me stronger, more understanding, more tolerant and a better person in life. I was extremely lucky throughout my life journey. I know God guided me all the way, because without His help, and His protection, I would not be here today.
I lived my life based on what I saw and learned from my parents when I was growing up, and what I saw and learned from my adopted parents in this country.
The values I received from my parents are my inheritance from them.
