Rendezvous in Heidenau (recollections)

Summary/Abstract: Ferenc Andai, who resides in Canada, is the last living Bor concentration camp convict who belonged to Miklós Radnóti’s immediate circle. In his Rendezvous in Heidenau he writes down many small details about those circumstance in which Radnóti’s most important poems were born (and in the course of our persistent correspondence he added more information). According to his memories we also learn more about the figure of József Junger, who was not only the poet’s protector, friend, and conversational partner in the Heidenau camp, but, according to Ferenc Andai’s testimony, he was the model for the prophet Nahum in the Eight Eclogue. What we can no longer reconstruct is what Radnóti might have discussed with the scientist Junger, who was the son of a rabbi from Zalaegerszeg and a Zionist leader.
