bombed, etc) to get to Jugoslavia in late 1944 in order to have my sister as she was 8 months pregnant. It was too risky and impossible for my father to get out so he went into hiding in a cellar in Budapest with several others. My parents were not able to reunite for 1.5 yrs and it took a yr for my mother to find out my father was still alive.

My parents are gone now, but it would surely pain my father to see what is happening, again, in Hungary.
