In Escape '56, Richard Panchyk delivers a meaningful coming-of-age story in clear, spare prose, carefully detailing both the beauty of Hungary and the barbarity of war and oppression. Erzsi Molnar's ordeal is both intimate and universal, and Panchyk offers us a timely reminder of the importance of providing sanctuary to the persecuted, or the caged. Absorbing and illuminating. - Tara Lynn Masih, National Jewish Book Award Finalist for My Real Name Is Hanna
