My family is from the Budapest area and left around the time of World War I. I was in a bookstore one afternoon and stumbled across this book which I thought might provide an interesting glimpse of what my great great grandfather's life was like. If you're interested in Budapest, this is only English language book I know of that covers this time period. And it's remarkably good, you can almost smell the market streets and hear the murmurs from the cafe bars...
