The true story of a desperate attempt to flee communist Hungary

The true story of a desperate attempt to flee communist Hungary

Just before the Soviets brutally crushed a rebellion in Autumn 1956, a courageous man left everything but his fiancé' in an incredible and audacious "Freedom Flight". That man, Frank Iszak, made it to freedom and married his fiancé'. He joined me in April 2017 to tell his incredible story! (I have since been to the free and proudly independent nation of Hungary three times.)
