Border Town: Train Station and Aunt Judy

border town: There was a lot of shooting outside, my aunt Judy remembers, according to CTV. It felt like we were in the war. It was the final leg of a journey that began five weeks earlier, under much less festive circumstances As choppers circled overhead and gunfire rang out on the streets of Budapest in early November, her family parents Olga and Imre and her nine-year-old sister Judy -- made arrangements to leave the country. One morning at dawn, they packed some belongings in bags, left their apartment at 56 Akacfa Street and headed to the train station. They managed to make it to a border town while evading detection by Russian soldiers and Hungarian secret police and other possible informants lurking about. Their destination, as it was for thousands fleeing the violence spurred by the Hungarian Revolution, was Austria. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
