HISTORICAL NOTE
For the purposes of this novel I have brought forward by a month the date of the establishment of the Budapest ghetto, to November 1944. In reality, the borders of the ghetto were announced at the end of November 1944 and the territory was sealed off on December 10. The ghetto was liberated on January 18 1945 by the Soviet army. Around 100,000 Jews survived, less than half of Budapest’s pre-war Jewish population.
