With Just One Suitcase

A true story about two boys, Frici and Istvan – one Jewish, one Catholic – living two kilometres but worlds apart in Timisoara, Romania, when World War 2 shatters their innocence and their lives. Spanning two continents and three generations of two families whose lives unexpectedly intersect in their adopted country, this book beautifully captures the loss and dislocation wrought by war; and the struggles and challenges of starting anew in another country. With Just One Suitcase is a tribute to the courage and resilience of two men who bear the scars of war, who faced and overcame adversity while never surrendering their optimism for the future.
