Perhaps a rare but true story. It is about two young boys, both of whom graduated from Szeged in the 1943-44 academic year, which was shortened due to the war.

And yet that year was the most terrible year even of the troubled twentieth century. Two of our heroes got out of the horrors. Labor camps, forced marches, captivity, court-martial... This article is not only about the adventurous way the two friends survived the famous "leap year" - one of them is the author himself. This is an authentic chronicle about the end of the war, the Hungarian holocaust, the good, the bad, the indifferent and the serene vitality that overcomes everything. with the biographical novel, he still owed himself, his friends and contemporaries
