This account of survival is told by a Budapest lawyer who secured
fake Christian identities for himself, his wife and his two
children following the invasion of the Germans in March 1944. Soros
views his experiences with a beguiling humour and a deep humanity.
If you want to know where the brothers Paul and George Soros got
their business skills, look no further than this little adventure
story told by their father. In simple, understated style, Tivadar
Soros tells how he and his companions broke out of their Siberian
prisoner-of-war camp at the time of the Russian Revolution and
traveled on foot through inhospitable mountains to freedom. And
this was just preparation for the equally horrendous conditions
that Tivadar and his family endured in World War II. -- "As a
schoolboy, I used to join my father in the swimming pool after
school, and after swimming he would regale me with an installment
of his adventures. In this way they became an important part of my
childhood." (George Soros) -- "I and my brother consider it to be
our good fortune to grow up observing how our father lived and
dealt with the problems of the world." (Paul Soros)
