Show detail Hide detail

Fonds consists of transcripts as well as photocopies of letters, 1956-1972, between Magda Németh and her father, Laszlo Németh. Many of these are included in the publications, LEVELEK MAGDAHOZ (LETTERS TO MAGDA), 1988, and LEVELEK APAMNAK (LETTERS TO MY FATHER), 1989, both of which are in the National Library. The correspondence describes Magda Németh's endeavours to make a new start outside her old homeland; her father's attempt to adjust to an oppressive regime; and gives evidence of the nature of the links an emigrant retains with his or her country of origin.
