5/25/2023 0 Comments Paris by Kati MartonShe describes the pain her parents endured in prison - isolated from each other and their children. Marton relates her eyewitness account of her mother's and father's arrests in Cold War Budapest and the terrible separation that followed. In this moving and brave memoir, Marton searches for and finds her parents, and love. In this true-life thriller, Kati Marton, an accomplished journalist, exposes the cruel mechanics of the Communist Terror State, using the secret police files on her journalist parents as well as dozens of interviews that reveal how her family was spied on and betrayed by friends and colleagues, and even their children's babysitter. The files revealed terrifying secret love aff airs, betrayals inside the family circle, torture and brutalities alongside acts of stunning courage - and, above all, deep family love. But her family history - during both the Nazi and the Communist periods - was too full of shadows. "You are opening a Pandora's box," Marton was warned when she filed for her family's secret police fi les in Budapest.
