HIDDEN – The Kati Preston Story is a powerful journey seen through the eyes of a child—a firsthand account of a society’s slow and insidious descent into authoritarianism, dictatorship, and tyranny. Kati Preston’s joyful childhood in Hungary came to an end in 1944. Bit by bit, law by law, action by action, her world was dismantled. Everything she knew and loved was stripped away.
What unfolded over seventy years ago now echoes disturbingly in our present day: a society manipulated by fear, emotions weaponised, old hatreds reignited. It was a time when the worst instincts were rewarded, and the best were silenced. This is also an intimate family story—a poignant look at the bond between mother and daughter under the unimaginable strain of war. It is a story of antisemitism, of fascism, and of the communist dictatorship that followed. Above all, it is a story of how a society can be dismantled by ideology and the thirst for power, told by an 85-year-old survivor remembering the world through the eyes of her five-year-old self. Because sometimes, children see truths that adults refuse to face.
