Sample from my book "Dare to Take the Next Step" 1st visit to Hungary

In 1974 my parents were saying in their letters that
some of the people who left Hungary in 1956 went home for
a visit and as long as they did not discuss politics, they were
able to leave again. So in June 1974 Rose and I decided to
visit my parents with the children.When we landed in Budapest and saw the soldiers with machine guns around the plane and inside the airport, I
was having second thoughts about the visit. My sister
Annuska and her husband Tibor were waiting for us at the
airport, but I didn’t recognize her at first. She was 11 years
old when I left and since that time, I only saw pictures of
her. As we came out from the secure area, a young lady
was steering at me, then came over and said: “I am waiting
for my brother who is coming from Canada with 3 children.
Since you are the only family arriving with 3 children, you
must be my brother”.
