I NEED your help, advice. Our Hungarian
community is suspicious about Imre Kertesz’s
having been in any concentration camp. He was born in
1930, that is all the media says about his biography.We cannot find out by ourselves. The Hungarian community, and disregard the media and other organizations named “Hungarian”, is outraged at this naming of a writer who is completely unknown to the
Hungarian literary public, and never read.Please help us to find out who this person really is and was.
Contemporary
Authors suddenly posts Kertesz “biography”
[This backdates his birthday on
eyear to 1929, which would still make him only 14 when
sent to Auschwitz. Hmmm. What jolly bad luck.]
