Nazi-Occupied Hungary and Jewish Teenager

: The youngest of six children, he left his rural home at 16 to learn a trade in Budapest, according to Globe and Mail. In October, 1943, on a visit home, his mother pleaded with him to stay but he returned to the capital, a decision that haunted him ever after. As a Jewish teenager in Nazi-occupied Hungary he spent years on the run, a harrowing experience that would define his life. Bundi never saw his parents again. His parents and two of his three sisters died in the Auschwitz gas chambers; one brother survived a concentration camp in Germany, the other escaped a work camp in Yugoslavia. In March, 1944, the Nazis invaded Hungary and began rounding up residents of small towns. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
