LILRC Webinar: Hooked on Books with Richard Panchyk

Long Island author, Richard Panchyk, will share his novel Escape ‘56. This gripping novel is based on the life of young Elizabeth Molnár (the author’s mother) and her family as they lived through the harrowing days of the Hungarian Revolution. Escape ‘56 recounts the story of the inspiring student-led uprising and the shocking Soviet invasion that followed, leading to Elizabeth’s perilous nighttime escape from Hungary through the border woods in November, 1956. Panchyk’s cinematic, fictional narrative is filled with historical detail and incorporates recollections from the author’s mother, aunt, and grandmother.
