I constantly dreamed of coming to America, but leaving Romania during communism was extremely difficult. My opportunity finally came in June 1989 when I was sent to Poland for work, and the train I took went through Hungary. Although Hungary was also communist, it wasn’t nearly as strict as Romania, and I had a better chance of crossing the border from Hungary to Austria. The train didn’t have a scheduled stop until the Czechoslovakian border, so I jumped off of the train at the first opportunity when it slowed at a crossing outside of Budapest.
