Unlike most, the family had comforts: a roomy apartment, a television, even a vacation home. What more could anyone want? But for her father, a doctor and a survivor of the Holocaust, living among the people who stood by as his family was taken to their deaths in cattle cars had become untenable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e On a summer night in 1969, the family packed the car for what was supposed to be a vacation to Vienna.

One child had to be left behind. This was the government's way to ensure that citizens who left the country would return. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The child left behind was \"Juditka,\" who would go on to live with her grandmother in a tiny lakeside Hungarian village.
