What Would You Bring? - John Hajdu

When the Nazis forced his family out of their home and into the Budapest Ghetto, 7-year-old John Hajdu took his teddy bear with him. John’s beloved toy accompanied him as he survived Nazi occupation, lived through the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, escaped to Austria and made a new life for himself in London. His story is brought to life by filmmakers Christopher Noxon and Rebecca Odes

John Hajdu's life story is conserved in the Oral History archive of the Imperial War Museum, London. I had the pleasure of spending many hours with him recording his testimony. His teddy bear remains a part of his family.
