{{blockquote|By the time I was twenty, I had lived through a [[Government of National Unity (Hungary)|Hungarian Fascist dictatorship]], [[Operation Margarethe|German military occupation]], the Nazis' "[[Final Solution]]," the [[siege of Budapest]] by the Soviet [[Red Army]], a period of chaotic democracy in the years immediately after the war, a variety of repressive Communist regimes, and a [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956|popular uprising]] that was put down at gunpoint... [where] many young people were killed; countless others were interned. Some two hundred thousand Hungarians escaped to the West. I was one of them.<ref name=Grove>Grove, Andrew S.
