Marika Junger is a fourteen-year old Hungarian Jewish girl who, at age nine, escaped the Budapest ghetto with her mother and went into hiding in a small mountain refuge. At the end of WWII, they return to Budapest to a Hungary 'liberated' by Stalin's Soviet Army. She learns that part of her family were denounced and perished in Auschwitz. Others, who were hiding in Budapest, were denounced by a neighbor, lined up along the banks of The Danube and murdered by the Nazi-allied Arrowcross. Since the Soviet-imposed Communist system also relied heavily on denunciation, she cleverly and dangerously uses these tyrannical practices to denounce and avenge those responsible for the horrific deaths of her loved ones. She becomes part of a circle of young intellectuals who are the core instigators of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against Soviet occupation. Maria J. Coleman was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1935. She escaped Soviet-occupied Hungary in 1956, earned a singing degree from the Verdi Conservatory in Milan, Italy, then emigrated to The United States. She has a Masters' degree in Anthropology and a PhD degree in Psychology. Maria worked as a psychotherapist in Italy and the United States. She is an accomplished painter and had an extended ceramic exhibit, 'A Child Survivor's Legacy' at The El Paso Holocaust Museum. Maria has two children and four grandchildren. She lives with her spouse in Encinitas, CA.
