Where Is My Home?

George Pogany, a Holocaust survivor, returned to Hungary after the War and studied and worked under communism. After the uprising of 1956 he escaped to the West with his wife and four-year-old son and made his way to England. They had to overcome many difficulties in this foreign country yet managed to integrate into local society. George, an industrial chemist, worked for Shell for almost thirty years and describes life at that giant company from personal experience. In 1969 his job was transferred to Holland, and he found enormous differences in the language, food, and customs, as well as in working conditions and morals between the three countries he had lived in. After retirement George taught management skills in a number of countries. He and his wife returned to Hungary as tourists, travelled extensively, and encountered many interesting people from a variety of countries and cultures. Their interactions often led to unusual and funny situations. "Where is my Home?" is the sequel to "When Even the Poets were Silent", George's moving memoir of his early life and of his experiences during the Holocaust.
