It recounts his experiences from the early days of socialism, through the hardships of World War II, and the subsequent communist regime. The narrative highlights the impact of these events on his family, their livelihood, and the broader community. The father's life was marked by forced labor, displacement, and the constant struggle for survival. Despite these challenges, he remained resilient, working in various industries and contributing to the development of infrastructure in Slovakia. The story also touches on the emotional and physical toll these experiences took on him and his family. Ultimately, it is a poignant reflection on the sacrifices made by a generation caught in the turmoil of 20th-century Europe.
