Summary/Abstract: In my essay I investigated the case of some Hungarian Jewish women writers from Romania, whose work was forgotten, or never reached any wider audience. While belonging to a triple minority (Hungarian, Jewish, woman), one can hardly identify them as part of the (Hungarian) holocaust literature, or literature at all. The essay demonstrates a few cases and processes of how such works disappear from memory, parallel to the holocaust-memory. Due to the conflict of the authors with political regime and emigration, their work became completely invisible today.
