Miklós and Fanni became inseparable, and it was she who, in 1931, proposed marriage. They married in August 1935 shortly after Miklós had taken a PhD from Ferencz József University in Szeged. After a short honeymoon, they moved into a rented one-room flat on Pozsonyi Street, Budapest, where Fanni taught shorthand at a school founded by her father, while Miklós established a growing reputation as a poet and translator. Fanni Gyarmati was born in Budapest on September 8 1912 into a Hungarian bourgeois family and was later described by friends as an intelligent girl who loved travelling and poetry. After the Second World War and her husband's death, she took a degree in French and Russian and later became a French and verse-speaking teacher at a theatre arts college. Fanni Gyarmati won several prizes and received many awards for her work in the fields of literature and education, including the Hungarian Order of Merit. Fanni Gyarmati, born September 8, 1912, died February 15, 2014") <https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10653903/Fanni-Gyarmati-obituary.html> Jaffa Kiadó website, viewed March 17, 2015 (Gyarmati Fanni, 1912-2014, Radnóti Miklós felesége és múzsája 1935 januárjában...)

The last entry is about the exhumation and reburial of her husband, killed in the holocaust. Fanni's diary will now be published by Jaffa Press in December 2014. Originally, she recorded events in shorthand, and typed them only decades later. She worked on the diaries, which amount to three and a half million characters, for her whole life, with the primary aim of “preserving what happened to Miklós.” We can also learn a lot about the literary and intellectual life of the era from the diary, since several well-known figures were close friends of the couple). The diary, however, is also an intriguing self-portrait of a young woman in the middle of the 20th century, who belonged to the first generation of working women in Hungary. Besides, the diary will probably contribute to the research of the holocaust as Fanni reports about the years of persecution and hiding. Fanni, who was in her 20s, managed a school that was closed in 1941 because it was 'Jewish property,' and she had to go into hiding in a Catholic mission under a pseudonym.) <http://www.hlo.hu/news/the_diary_of_fanni_gyarmati_miklos_radnoti_s_wife_is_to_be_published_this_december> |
