Life and Times of Fiorello's Sister, Gemma La Guardia Glück: Stateless American and Jewish Deportee from Budapest to Ravensbrück in 1944
Gemma and Fiorello La Guardia were born in New York to a Jewish mother from Austro-Hungarian Trieste and an Italian Catholic father. The impoverished family returned to Europe when the siblings were teenagers, where both ended up having sustained relationships with Budapest (where their mother is buried to this day). As a youth Fiorello worked for the American Embassy in Budapest and in Fiume, while Gemma married a Hungarian Jew and lived for 26 …
Family Microhistories and the Social History of Twentieth-Century Hungary: Biri mama deportálási emlékirata [‘The Deportation Memoir of Mama Biri’] (1949) and the Kieselbach Series, Sorsfordulók [‘Tur…
The deportation memoir of Biri mama (Irén Reményi) is the third publication byTamás Kieselbach, of a book series he created, Sorsfordulók: a 20. századi Magyarország drámai pillantai [‘Turns of Fate: The Dramatic Moments of Twentieth-Century Hungary’], in which his aim was to illustrate the four historical turning points of the twentieth century: 1919-1920, the Holocaust, 1956, and 1989. My interest in studying Reményi's work is, first, and most …
Culinary Nostalgia and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Addenda to Kinga Király's Az újrakezdés receptjei (2019) / Recipes for a New Beginning (2020)
Kinga Király conducted interviews with ten North Transylvanian survivors who represent the last witnesses of a generation that is about to disappear and leave us with the question of what to remember and how. On reading the testimonies catalogued in the volume Király produced from those interviews, I realized that I felt compelled to make further connections with my own research on foodways and war trauma and on the ecologies of survival witnessi…
Constructing Narrative Identities in the Holocaust Memories/Memoirs of Three Women
Although only a decade in age separates each one from the next, the women whose life stories are discussed here represent three distinct Holocaust generations of Hungarian-speaking women. I aim to examine the recently published memories/memoirs of these three women whose narratives are all centered in the Holocaust when the deportations began in Hungary in 1944. Their personal stories are placed within a larger socio-historical context, but treat…
“A Megcsalt Férj” or Cunningly Lingual Wives in Hungarian Ballad Tradition
In this report I shall study one widely circulating European ballad tradition concerning wifely infidelity, to illustrate that although details among versions are temporally and culturally variable, they all belong to one narrative deep structure having to do with “cunningly lingual” wives and cuckolded husbands. These adulterous wives are a subcategory of the persistent antifeminist stereotype of the “unruly woman,” whose too active mouth, wheth…
