In 1933 Sommer's family moved to Mukachevo; after his mother died in 1941, Sommer moved to Budapest. Attests that antisemitism was strong and widespread in Hungary in 1942-44. In March 1944 Sommer was drafted into a Jewish labor unit in the Hungarian army; in August 1944 he escaped from the Csepel plant in Budapest where he worked as a forced laborer and hid on a farm near the city. In December 1944 the vicinity was liberated by the Soviets; Sommer, who knew many languages, joined the Soviet secret service, which attempted to track down fascists and Nazi collaborators. While in the Soviet army, Sommer was also confronted with many cases of antisemitism. After the war he settled in the USA. |
