In 1956, thousands of Hungarian families were faced with a decision most of us can hardly imagine.
Stay in the country they loved under communist rule—or risk everything to escape.
The Eleventh Arrow is the true story of my family’s journey during and after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
My mother, Terezia, told me the story of what happened to our family, and years later I researched the history surrounding the revolution so I could preserve that story in a book.
They weren’t soldiers or famous historical figures. They were an ordinary family caught in extraordinary circumstances, trying to protect the people they loved and find their way to freedom.
For me, The Eleventh Arrow is more than a book about history. It’s about my parents, my family and a story that might have disappeared if no one had written it down.
As 2026 marks the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution, I think it’s especially important to remember the ordinary people whose lives were forever changed by those events.
If you enjoy true stories, family history and learning about moments in history through the people who actually lived them, I hope you’ll read The Eleventh Arrow.
