In the beautiful city of Budapest lies Do Not Forget Me Street. Here, author Erica Frydenberg was born into the maelstrom of WWII, just as the Hungarian regime was implementing Hitler's 'Final Solution'. Decades later, she returns, determined that the atrocities committed never fade from memory. She confronts the mass murder and deliberate inhumanity designed to erase a people, but she also honours the courage of those righteous heroes - Raoul Wallenberg, Carl Lutz and many lesser-known individuals who risked everything to save Jewish lives.

For Erica, the history is personal. Her own uncle, the enigmatic Nandor Eichel, had saved her life before she turned one. This 'Budapesti Schindler', protected only by a fragile diplomatic status, moved through the chaos rescuing countless others whose stories surface, decades later, in Sydney, Australia.

Yet Nandor refuses to speak of the past. As Erica pieces together his hidden story, she uncovers deeper truths about memory - its capacity to wound, to illuminate and to nurture empathy and healing across generations.
