Featured Interview With Gabriella Kovac
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Hungary, just after the Second World War had drawn to a close. I lived through the Hungarian uprising against the Communists in 1956, and remember vividly Russian tanks under our bedroom window. Through the genius of my mother Georgina.My family managed to leave the Communist block and come to Australia in 1957. I am an experienced public speaker, fashion designer and cook Throughout my life I have been inspired by my mother’s amazing tenacity on outsmarting the Nazis and Communists and winning!. Her zest for life motivated me to write Georgina Holocaust Stories.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?

I started writing down my mothers story 20 years ago and it finally realised I was an Author a few years ago and started to write in earnest.
