Karoly's life was harsh, taken to the front and used as a human-shield by the Romanians during WWII. He was arrested after the war by Russian Communists and sent to a forced labour camp. He esaped in 1956 and rebuilt his life in England. This is his story. He was born in January 1928, forty kilometres east of Budapest. His village was ninety-eight per cent Catholic, a rural, agrarian based Catholic community, which was very strict. At five, he was an altar boy on Sundays. On 1st September, 1939, he enrolled in the Grammar school at Nagykata where he would spend four years. Then his world was turned upside down.
