On History’s Road – A man’s story of his family’s move to, and then escape from Serbia’s Bácska/Bačka region with the Bukovina Székely Hungarians between 1941–1945. It’s a terrifying personal story of flight during WWII in Hungary and what one small boy and his family went through, somehow managing to stay alive. He was 12 when his family, along with some of the Bukovina Székely people, ended up in the town of Bonyhád where they were re-located in homes left by Swabian Hungarians who had been deported to Germany... As told to Kóka Rozália on August 17, 2007 by Papp János.
