How was it that in 1964, a naïve young Sydney school teacher found herself jailed in Bratislava, CSSR, and at the centre of an international political scandal?
This memoir recounts how Jan Wilson, while teaching in Vienna, was drawn into an attempt to rescue Budapest sculptor Tibor Karman from Communist Hungary.

Their attempt was doomed to failure, jettisoning them into a nightmarish sojourn deep in the heart of the Bratislava justice system, and triggering the interest of international news agencies and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation.

Jan Wilson is a communicator, educator and activist. This may be her first published work, but the story flows from a well of writing, talking, engaging about and with people, experiences and community – the messy, wonderful lives of humankind. She has lived in Sydney and the Southern Highlands of NSW but most recently, and for several decades, in Glebe – inner Sydney. Her commitment to people and place strongly frames a life well lived; and a multitude of stories and experiences to be shared with those who know and love her; and those who are meeting her for the first time through this extraordinary story. ‘Jan Deported’ in 1964 was a young woman on a path not otherwise her destiny; creating memories and security files elegantly mined by ‘Jan the Author’ in 2024.
