Ratonyi has been a frequent speaker at the Breman Jewish Heritage Museum and at various programs around the state. His book, “From Darkness Into Light,” is a 343-page personal memoir of growing up, first, during the Nazi invasion late in the war, and then during the Communist takeover of Hungary after the war. Later, as a young college student, he participated in the Hungarian uprising of 1956 and had to flee the country. His book is particularly about his memories of those dozen years that led him, as his book’s title suggests, to a new appreciation of freedom.
