Describes one woman's quest for her past - from the Astro-Hungarian empire to the death camps of Nazi Europe.

Part autobiography, part family chronicle, and part immigrant saga, Journey to Vaja tells the story of the Weinbergers over the course of two centuries. From settlement in a Hungarian village in the late eighteenth century to the German occupation of Hungary in the spring of 1944, Elaine Kalman Naves places her family's triumphs and tribulations against the backdrop of Hungarian history.
