A Survivor’s Hope
In the midst of World War II, a young man will give everything to return to his family. But is everything he has to give enough to make it home?
Hungary, 1943. Called to serve his homeland, Laci departs to join the Hungarian Army’s Jewish work battalion.
As he endures crippling workloads and terrifying encounters, Laci fears for the fate of his loved ones, cherishing the rare letters he is able to receive with news from home, willing to risk his life to keep them.
As the battalion begins to withdraw from the front lines, Laci manages to escape, only, in a cruel twist of fate, to be taken captive by the Russian army. And all hope of ever seeing his family again seems to fade away.
A Survivor’s Hope is the true account of a man whose faith, determination, and love did not allow him to give up. A riveting, heart-rending story of love and loss in the darkest of times and one man who made it through.
