Dear Reader, If you were born a free man or if you are one of the many survivors of communism, perhaps you are interested in reading the authentic life story of the Szombathy family, the devastating life they lived, and their persecution under the communist system. How the "red epidemic" destroyed their integrity as human beings and caused them much hardship. The unjust ways the ancient, noble family was forced into hard-labor camps and jail because they didn't agree with the system's ideas. Then, their daughter made a wish to be free. A warm "wind-like" touch across her face let her know that there is still hope for breaking out of the choking tightness of communism and finding healing in the light of freedom. That light of freedom she found in the United States of America. "America America God shed his grace on thee " Ildiko Eva Szombathy
