How did a Hungarian boy, a Christian of Jewish origin, travel from the Bor labour camp to the far right by the end of his long life? The author walks through his father's lost pasts to draw an intellectual biography of both of them and, through diaries, documents, poems and films, a portrait of socialism's culture of silence.
