Through the eyes of Rose
6:00 pm, Tuesday, March 31
Author John Kozak has written about his and his family’s experience living in and escaping from communist Czechoslovakia when he was a child. Through the Eyes of Rose is a great read and a wonderful program!
Once you begin the book, you will not be able to put it down and to hear him speak about their life escaping Communism in Czechoslovakia is chilling, entertaining and an event that should not be missed. Her story is worth repeating over and over again, not to be forgotten especially today with all that is going on in the Ukraine.
This is a story about love. About love of family and love of freedom. It’s a story about the courage and determination of a mother who would not give up, even when it appeared certain that failure seemed to be the only reasonable ending to the scenario.
It is Rose Kozak’s story. The story of her struggle to feed her family during the Nazi occupation of her native Czechoslovakia and her brush with death by drowning in the Danube.
The Nazi oppression ended with the Allied defeat of the Germans. A new nightmare shadowed Rose Kozak and her family. It came with the Communist take over of Czechoslovakia.
When her husband, Anthony, was unable to return from Switzerland to Prague where he faced prison or worse on charges fabricated by the new Communist regime, Rose decided to escape.
With her two children, a 17-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son, she fled into the wilderness of the Bohemian Forest and headed for the safety of the West German border. She was betrayed by a guide who took money to help her, hunted by tracking dogs and nearly captured by a Soviet patrol before stumbling into a small German town just across the border.
When she saw a Jeep with U.S. Army markings parked outside a tavern, she put her children in the Jeep and went to find the soldiers who were driving it. She told them she was a United States citizen and demanded that she be taken to their commanding officer. She soon learned that her lifelong belief that she was an American citizen was misplaced. She was not.
The family was sent to a refugee camp in Munich while efforts were being made to reunite with her husband, a process that moved slowly through the international bureaucracy.
Rose was 42 when she fled Czechoslovakia with her children in the pre-dawn darkness of October 12, 1949. Three years later, January 21, 1952, she stepped off the Greyhound Bus that had brought her across the Ambassador Bridge from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, to Detroit, Michigan, into the arms of her aging father.
Rose Kozak’s ordeal was over. She was home.
“On Tuesday night we listened to author John Kozak from Grosse Pointe Farms speak here at the Traverse Area District Library and we highly recommend him! He wrote a wonderful tribute to his loving and courageous mother, "Through the Eyes of Rose". Once you begin the book, you will not be able to put it down and to hear him speak about their life escaping Communism in Czechoslovakia is chilling, entertaining and an event that should not be missed. Her story is worth repeating over and over again, not to be forgotten especially today with all that is going on in the Ukraine. Have I said we highly recommend him? We do! It is worth repeating. Don't miss out, you will not be disappointed.”

From the Traverse Area District Library: Through the Eyes of Rose details the story of Rose Kozak and how she successfully defied the Czechoslovakian Communists in October 1949 and escaped with her children through the wilderness of the Bohemian Forest to the freedom of West Germany.
John Kozak was just seven when he escaped with his mother and older sister from oppressive Communist rule. His emotional retelling of his mother's struggle to feed her family during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, her near drowning in the Danube River, and her reaction to the news that the Czech Communists had fabricated criminal charges against her husband all make for an intriguing look into the lives of a family deeply affected by the Communist takeover of their native country. When Rose's husband Anthony is unable to return from Switzerland to Prague where he faces imprisonment due to fabricated charges by the new Communist regime, Rose decides to escape. During her journey to seek a better life, she is betrayed by a money-hungry guide, hunted by tracking dogs, and nearly captured by a Soviet patrol.
Please join us as John Kozak shows us how one woman's courage and dogged determination to seek freedom for her family proves that a mother's love will always persevere over evil.

Book Review-Now You See Me





If you have been reading these reviews for any length of time, you know that I like unreliable narrators.  If you do too, or if you like a good mystery, I've got a book for you!
I just finished Now You See Me by S J. Bolton.  The book starts with Lacey, a young London detective, going to her car only to find a woman who had been brutally attacked moments before.  The murder looked a lot like Jack the Ripper's work.  Lacey is at first treated like a witness, but when a second murder occurs that looks similar to Jack the Ripper's second murder, Lacey's knowledge of him allows her into the investigation.  One of the other detectives thinks that Lacey is somehow involved in the murders.  As the tension grows-will there be another murder, are the victims related-we start to wonder the same, but then, no, but then, maybe.
I liked this book because the plot was interesting and I liked the challenge of figuring out if or how Lacey was involved.  The writing was very good, the characters were well filled out and believable in their actions.  The Jack the Ripper angle was very well done, although I think the description of one of the murders was a bit graphic for my tastes.  The twist at the end was very satisfying, like putting in the final piece of a puzzle.

Through the eyes of Rose
6:00 pm, Tuesday, March 31
Author John Kozak has written about his and his family’s experience living in and escaping from communist Czechoslovakia when he was a child. Through the Eyes of Rose is a great read and a wonderful program!
Once you begin the book, you will not be able to put it down and to hear him speak about their life escaping Communism in Czechoslovakia is chilling, entertaining and an event that should not be missed. Her story is worth repeating over and over again, not to be forgotten especially today with all that is going on in the Ukraine.
This is a story about love. About love of family and love of freedom. It’s a story about the courage and determination of a mother who would not give up, even when it appeared certain that failure seemed to be the only reasonable ending to the scenario.
It is Rose Kozak’s story. The story of her struggle to feed her family during the Nazi occupation of her native Czechoslovakia and her brush with death by drowning in the Danube.
The Nazi oppression ended with the Allied defeat of the Germans. A new nightmare shadowed Rose Kozak and her family. It came with the Communist take over of Czechoslovakia.
When her husband, Anthony, was unable to return from Switzerland to Prague where he faced prison or worse on charges fabricated by the new Communist regime, Rose decided to escape.
With her two children, a 17-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son, she fled into the wilderness of the Bohemian Forest and headed for the safety of the West German border. She was betrayed by a guide who took money to help her, hunted by tracking dogs and nearly captured by a Soviet patrol before stumbling into a small German town just across the border.
When she saw a Jeep with U.S. Army markings parked outside a tavern, she put her children in the Jeep and went to find the soldiers who were driving it. She told them she was a United States citizen and demanded that she be taken to their commanding officer. She soon learned that her lifelong belief that she was an American citizen was misplaced. She was not.
The family was sent to a refugee camp in Munich while efforts were being made to reunite with her husband, a process that moved slowly through the international bureaucracy.

Three years later, January 21, 1952, she stepped off the Greyhound Bus that had brought her across the Ambassador Bridge from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, to Detroit, Michigan, into the arms of her aging father.
Rose Kozak’s ordeal was over. She was home.
