Miklós Radnóti’s fate, as well as the canonization and mythologization of his oeuvre, have led to ever renewed painful and contradictory questions, far more than about any other author or work, so that in relation to him any assertion is a simplification. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the author’s birth in this issue of our journal we endeavour to address this enormous and what one might be called evangelical life. There is only one fact that we can know for sure: that we have much in common with his fate and his example not only in human terms, but as Hungarians, as Jews, as Hungarian Jews, and, in our case also as a Jewish cultural journal. It is in relation to this undertaking that the chief editor of Múlt és Jövô wrote an open letter to Miklós Radnóti’s widow - the muse of Hungarian poetry - asking her to change her stand and allow her husband’s verses to appear in the pages of a Jewish journal on this occasion of the special centennial issue in his honor. But why should we lament that ultimately in this issue, which has been put together with so much caring, in place of Miklós Radnóti’s poems, only their titles can appear.

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.

Itamar Jaoz-Keszt and Andre Hajdu, two leading Israeli intellectual artists, first met each other in Budapest in the course of planning a literary evening devoted to Radnóti, whose work was to prove for both of them to be their first significant Jewish experience. Andre Hajdu recounts this experience in his Fragments of an autobiography with Radnóti and in his score entitled to the Forced March, which we publish here along with the score by Máté Hollós to the Razglednicas.

Itamar Jaoz-Keszt and Andre Hajdu, two leading Israeli intellectual artists, first met each other in Budapest in the course of planning a literary evening devoted to Radnóti, whose work was to prove for both of them to be their first significant Jewish experience. Itamar Jaoz-Keszt in his interview with János Kőbányai speaks not only about the influence Radnóti had on him, nor only of the history of his Hebrew translation of Radnóti’s poetry, but he, too, attempts to address the puzzle of who is Radnóti and in what way his fate symbolizes the fate of Hungarian Jewry.
