Nine Suitcases

Arrested by fascists in 1944, the Hungarian writer Béla Zsolt and his wife were sent to the ghetto of Nagyvárad to await deportation, with little hope of survival. By the end of the Second World War, 19,000 Jews, including the couple’s daughter, had been deported from Nagyvárad to Auschwitz. But Béla and Agnes Zsolt managed to escape their captors and find safety in Switzerland.
