Czech Out by John A. Wollman is the life-93 years-story of the author. It is a true dreamer's life story for posterity. As a youngster, John experienced total freedom under the Czechoslovakian government-freedom he could not live without. When the socialists and communists (helped by the Soviets) usurped the Czech government, John resented and resisted losing his freedom, as he dreamed of living in California. Labeled an "enemy of the people," he avoided arrest and gulag labor camps by escaping from the "evil empire." He immigrated to Australia, where he waited ten years for a U.S. resident visa. John became an American citizen in 2003. His dream fulfilled, he now lives with his family in California. The author advises all Americans to beware-no one believes it can happen "here," but we must watch out for and reject socialism and communism… and may God Bless the U.S.A.!

Aki loves spending time with his grandfather. They walk to downtown, visit the fish market and see many interesting things in the park. At the end of the day, they watch a baseball game and cheer for their favorite team.

In DISPLACED, George Kapus tells his story from birth to about age 19, as his family moved from country to country until they were finally able to cross the Atlantic as they had been accepted for immigration by the US Consulate in Paris. As his parents insisted that someday, they would return home to Budapest, Hungary, this dream was kept alive until his father, George Sr. passed away in 1958 and he and his mother finally realized that with his father’s death, their dream had also died. By 1961, when this story ends, he was attending Junior College in Oakland and planning for a future here in the United States. He also knew by this time that he was no longer a refugee and more specifically, he was no longer Displaced. Several of his illustrations accompany certain episodes of his story on the way to America as there wasn’t always a camera around to record the event; but also, because he just likes to draw.
