A Terrifying Road to Flexibility is the memoir of Lucy Mayer, whose household made it through in Hungary under the Nazis, only to be attacked by Russia after the war. My story begins in 1938 in the peacetime of my youth in Budapest, Hungary. Those years prior to the war were all delighted memories. The good times were over when the war began in our country in 1943-44 We withstood airstrikes all around us and had to conceal in a bunker to conserve our lives. Came the terrifying ground invasion of the Red Army. After The Second World War, the communist government managed Hungary. We continued to feel scared for our security, as Hungarians were jailed, tortured, and killed by the Russians. Ultimately, Hungary had enough and an uprising began in1956 The Russian Army overcame the Hungarian Transformation, but it offered an opportunity for my brother, Steve, and I to escape. We risked our lives and left our family behind, not even able to bid farewell. It was a tough journey, however we were elated to get here in the U.S.A. Without any money and just the clothes on our backs, we understood it would be hard to begin our new lives in America, but a minimum of we had liberty!
