Albert László from page images generously made available by the Hungarian Electronic Library "Találkozásaim az antiszemitizmussal" by Lajos Nagy is a reflective collection of essays or memoiristic fragments written in the early 20th century. The work appears to explore the theme of antisemitism through the author's personal experiences and critical observations of contemporary Hungarian society. Rather than being a straightforward historical account or a narrative novel, the book presents itself as a critical and introspective examination of prejudice, violence, and social attitudes, with the author himself serving as the central perspective and voice throughout. The overarching subject is not only antisemitism as a phenomenon but also its intersection with broader issues of human decency, ignorance, and societal brutality. The beginning of the book establishes Lajos Nagy’s approach: he opens by reflecting on his intellectual affinity with René Maran, a Black French writer whose experiences of racial injustice parallel Nagy’s own observations of antisemitism in Hungary. The author then recounts early, formative encounters with antisemitic abuse, describing incidents from his childhood in which he was taunted by local children not for his heritage, but for being perceived as different. Nagy continues with vivid sketches of everyday situations—a mocking street song, a violent altercation on a tram, and the climate of political and media discourse—all exposing the normalization and irrationality of antisemitism in Hungarian life. Through satirical critique and personal narrative, Nagy dissects the mentalities fueling hatred and challenges his readers to confront the societal structures and personal prejudices that allow such attitudes to persist.
