The Real Cost of War: An Interview with Author Ella Colic

April 23, 2022 1 Comment


As the world reels from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many Americans are focused on gas prices and the stock market. But American author Ella Colic knows about the real cost of war. The real price is paid in lives lost, crushed dreams, experiencing terror, and having to leave everything behind–your family, your home, your friends, and your way of life. Ella didn’t learn about this in a history class; she learned it from her family who kept their personal stories about war secret until she was old enough to understand. Listen, as Ella Colic shares about her groundbreaking book, “Trees Without Roots.”

August 23, 2019 Leave a Comment

This is publisher Eric Johnson’s interview with the author of the historical autobiography, “Displaced.” In this interview, Kapus shares how his family left Budapest during the waning years of WWII, as Stalin’s troops began their brutal occupation of the Hungarian homeland.
