Margit was born in Budapest in 1897 and died in 1993. She studied at theBudapest Academy of Music and became a pianist; she gave concerts abroad.And she was beautiful. Her husband was Geza Laczko, the writer from theNyugat group who also was a professor of French literature. He later becamethe editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper "Pesti Naplo." He was aChristian, and his wife lived through the Arrow Cross upheaval unharmed asthe wife of an Aryan. They hid me in 1944.
