Writing history | The Journal Gazette | Fort Wayne, IN: "Bierbaum has lived in Fort Wayne for 20 years, but he grew up in Sopron, Hungary, which is on the Austrian border. At that time, his country was under control of the then-Soviet Union.
Bierbaum worked in Györ, an industrial town 35 to 40 miles from his home. After eighth grade, he entered a trade school and learned to be a tool and die maker. It was the only opportunity open to him while his country was under Communist rule; the government told him what to do, what to be.
