Summary/Abstract: The biography of Ernő Ligeti (1891‒1945), a writer, journalist and Holocaust victim from Cluj, and his family in Budapest, is rather incomplete and often inaccurate in Hungarian literary history sources. Using the results of his research, the author has now filled in or clarified some of these data. Accordingly, many biographical data on the members of the Ligeti family are now being published publicly for the first time, with the sources indicated. The persons concerned are the author's parents, József Ligeti (Lichtenstein) (1860‒1924) and Júlia Diamant, his son Károly Ligeti (Charles Moshe Ligeti; 1928‒2015), his wife Margit Szántó (1899‒1945) and her parents Soma Szántó (Steiner) (1864‒1935) and Szeréna Schück (1876‒1961).
