The Bear Makers

Kata's family, being Jewish and recently returned from hiding during the Nazi blitz of WWII, now find that postwar Hungary has another threat looming on the horizon. The Communist Party begins to purge those disloyal to their plan and, once again, they prepare to survive in a hostile world. Kata's father has his business confiscated so Kata's mother secretly goes into the teddy bear and purse making business to feed their family. Kata's brother escapes to America and leaves his family, promising to send for them one day. Good story but the ending is abrupt and unsatisfying

I read this because it is my father's background. I liked the information included but found the plot somewhat lacking.
