Last Saturday afternoon, together with the Hungarian Literary Walking Club, we embarked on a literary walk in Újlipótváros (13th district), exploring the life and poetry of Radnóti Miklós, the renowned Hungarian Holocaust poet. We visited key locations from his childhood, including 8 Kádár utca, where he was born, 7 Falk Miksa utca, 5, Szent István körút, and later 1 Pozsonyi út, where he lived with his wife, Fanni Gyarmati. Along the route, we also encountered two statues poignantly depicting different phases of his life—one capturing a moment of happiness and another portraying the suffering he endured in a forced labor camp. This reflective journey deepened our understanding of Radnóti’s life, poetry, and the historical tragedies he faced.
