Daughter of fortune

The name of Sarah Karig is known to many from the Tales of the People series, translations of Bulgakov, and perhaps even quite a few have heard of her role in the 1947 elections. In 1988–89, she told Éva Bakonyi her twisting life story. The interview, and with it the interviewee, is now coming to life: we will find out how the girl from Baja became a social democrat, a friend of the Radnóti family and the Szent-Györgyi family; prisoner of war, savior of hiding Jews, orphaned children, later the Righteous of the World; He was the undisputer of the blue card election, then a prisoner in Vorkuta for six years, and for decades after his return he was the editor of the European Publishing House, a renowned translator, thanks to whom many Russian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian literary works were published in Hungarian. The text is published with notes, an annotated name index, and photographs.
