As I write in the introduction of my book "I belonged nowhere. I belong everywhere. The world was my oyster!" Born in Romania in the small city of Temesvar, I had a happy, comfortable childhood. Not for long. My parents relocated to Bucharest and after two years joined the tobacco family business in Saloniki, (Now Thessaloniki). The clouds of war touched us as the Italians bombarded the city. That was the beginning of an Odyssey of trying to escape the Russian armies, first from Sofia, Bulgaria where we fled after our house was destroyed in Saloniki and then from Vienna from where we retreated to theAustrian Tyrol. I got married to Mark Natlacen, he too a refugee from Slovenia.The communists assassinated his father who was the last non-communist governor there. Immigration to the New World was our only option. We found peace in Montreal, Canada and the book tells us about our family finally settling in Acton, Massachusetts.
