Ritta Halasz
Line and Developmental Edit
Author Ritta Halasz hired me for line and developmental editing of her memoir Our Desperate Escape.
In 1944 Nazi-occupied Hungary, young adults Laszlo and Ritta embark on individual quests to escape war-torn Europe. Targeted for his Jewish heritage and in response to her family’s fears of the war, Laszlo and Ritta experience the terrors of fleeing their homeland: violence, starvation, poverty, and multiple captures and escapes from Nazis and Russian Communist forces.
