Synopsis: This is the true story of an extraordinary woman and the two loves of her life - a man lost in the tumult of World War II, and a friend who becomes her husband. It is 1944 in Budapest. Two wartime lovers vow that, if ever separated, they will find each other no matter what happens, and no matter what the cost. Thirty years later - having survived life in a concentration camp, and now married to another rman - Betty Schimmel returns to Budapest to confront her past, and rediscovers the lost love who has shaowed her life for decades. In the romantic city of their youth, the couple must face the most difficult decision of their lives.
Review: Truly a heartbreaking read, but so good too. Proof that life is not a fairy tale, and that there's no turning back the hands of time.
We all know Anne Frank's World War II experience, but there are others. This offered another perspective.
