    From Budapest to New York: The Odyssey of the Polanyis Judith Szapor This article is a short version of Chapter 4 of my manuscript, entitled "The Hungarian Pocahontas;" The Life and Times of Laura Polanyi, 1882-1959, to be published by the University of Toronto Press. In the preceding chapters I describe the first stages of the Polanyis' Odyssey. It included the emigration from Hungary of Laura Polanyi's brothers, Adolf, Karl and Michael, to Italy, Austria and Germany, respectively. They left Hungary, along with scores of left-wing intellectuals, during the period of right-wing repression that followed the post-war demo- cratic and Bolshevik revolutions. By 1939, both Michael and Karl had settled in England. As for Laura Polanyi's immediate family, in the late 1920s and early 1930s her children, Michael, Eva and George Strieker all studied and worked in Austria and Germany. While the latter, her youngest was completing his studies at the University of Vienna, Michael and Eva took a detour to the Soviet Union. By 1932, both had taken up positions as "foreign experts," Michael as a patent expert in Moscow, Eva as a designer, eventually working for the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in Leningrad. Although keeping her homes in Budapest — where her husband lived — and Vienna, Laura accompanied her children to the Soviet Union for extended periods of time. She was there when, in May 1936, Eva was arrested and accused with participating in a plot to assassinate Stalin. Fourteen months later, in September 1937, when Eva was released and expelled from the Soviet Union, the family gathered in Vienna, preparing to leave for the United States.

  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION M.Shifman William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA [email protected] When destination becomes destiny... — 1 — Five decades — from the 1920s till 1970s — were the golden age of physics. Never before have developments in physics played such an important role in the history of civilization, and they probably never will again. This was an exhilarating time for physicists. The same five decades also witnessed terrible atrocities, cruelty and degradation of humanity on an unprecedented scale. The rise of dictatorships (e.g., in Europe, the German national socialism and the communist Soviet Union) brought misery to millions. El sueño de la razón produce monstruos... In 2012, when I was working on the book Under the Spell of Lan- dau, [1] I thought this would be my last book on the history of the- oretical physics and the fate of physicists under totalitarian regimes (in the USSR in an extreme form as mass terror in the 1930s and 40s, and in a milder but still onerous and humiliating form in the Brezhnev era). I thought that modern Russia was finally rid of its dictatorial past and on the way to civility. Unfortunately, my hopes remain fragile: recent events in this part of the world show that the past holds its grip. We are currently witnessing recurrent (and even dangerously growing) symptoms of authoritarian rule: with politi- cal opponents of the supreme leader forced in exile or intimidated, with virtually no deterrence from legislators or independent media, the nation’s future depends on decisions made singlehandedly.

Göllner Abstract: The Polanyis came to prominence in the capital cities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Vienna and Budapest) when words mattered, culture was not a four-letter word and Austro-Hungary was territorially the second-largest and the third most populous entity in Europe. The review examines how two recent biographies about members of the Polanyi family treat their protagonists and the forces that shaped their lives after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Keywords: Austro-Hungary, the linguistic turn, capitalism, feminism, socialism, Karl Polanyi, Michael Polanyi, Laura Polanyi Biography: András B.

  • Laura Polanyi 1882-1957: Narratives of a Life*
    Laura Polanyi 1882-1957: Narratives of a Life* Judit Szapor In the following hour, I would like to acquaint you with the subject of my biographical study, Laura Polanyi. If her name is known at all outside of a small circle of specialists, it is because of her internationally renowned younger brothers, the economist and anthropologist Karl Polanyi and the physicochemist and philosopher Michael Polanyi, not to mention the legion of other prominent academics and artists in her family. For anyone remotely familiar with the history and culture of turn-of- the-century Hungary, her name would also recall the circle of the periodical Twentieth Century, again, as a figure of secondary importance next to her high-profile brothers. The following short summary of Laura Polanyi's contributions and achievements should provide sufficient evidence for my claim that she deserves scholarly attention in her own right. In addition, I will touch upon some of the structural and methodological problems I encountered while shaping the outlines of this biography. Some of these problems may be common to the genre, however, they were amplified by the task of making a largely Hungarian subject accessible for North American readers as well as by my own position as a Hungarian historian transplanted to North America; and as such, will hopefully be of interest for you as academics and students specialized in the study of Central Europe. Let's begin with the facts. Laura Polanyi was born in 1882 in Vienna, the eldest child of Mihaly Pollacsek and Cecile Wohl. (The

  • Hungarian Studies Review
    PART III About Books: Review Articles and Book Introductions by: Lee Congdon Christorpher Adam Sandor Zsiros Janet Kerekes Edit Toth Society as Family: The Loyalties and Illusions of Laura Polanyi Lee Congdon Judith Szapor. The Hungarian Pocahontas: The Life and Times of Laura Polanyi Strieker, 1882-1959 (Boulder, Colorado: East European Monographs, 2005). viii + 218 pages. $40.00. On 11 August 1957, Michael Polanyi sent a collection of family documents to his older sister Laura, known affectionately as "Mausi." He addressed them to "the custodian of the family's traditions." (p. 190, note 148) Those traditions of achievement, he could assure himself, were worth preserving. He himself had had a distinguished career as a scientist and was beginning to make his mark as a philosopher as well. His older brother Karl was a social and economic historian whose book. The Great Transformation (1944), was recognized as a classic on publication. Several of their cousins, including the Marxist theorist Ervin Szabo, had made important contributions to the cultural life of fin de siecle Hungary. And as we now know, further distinction of the intellect and imagination lay in the future. Judith Szapor, herself Hungarian born, became interested in the Polanyis after being introduced to the "Great Generation" (bom between 1875 and 1905) by Gyorgy Litvan, who has done so much to make that generation's story known. Litvan's guidance, along with her commitment to feminism, prompted her to write her dissertation on Laura Polanyi, but she soon discovered that that remarkable woman's life was deeply embedded in her family's history.

Last summer, the Hungarian Cultural Center, renamed Balassi Institute to emphasize the common “brand” and the mission it shares with 19 other Balassi centers from London to New Delhi, had just undergone a major reorganizational period. The new crew was arriving and we were getting a sense of how rich a cultural environment the City is and how much effort it would take to make cultural events happen that would register on the radar of New York’s numerous and hungry, but also picky arts and culture crowd. One day, the office phone rang. It was Julia Kunin, who cut right to the chase: she told us she was trying to make a project happen and was wondering if the Balassi Institute was interested in getting on board.

  • Letters About Polanyi, Koestler, and Eva Zeisel
    Letters about Polanyi, Koestler, and Eva Zeisel Walter Gulick ABSTRACT Key Words: Michael Polanyi, Arthur Koestler, Eva Striker Zeisel, Polanyi family, Gyula Hevesi, Alex Weissberg, David Cesarani, Soviet imprisonment. Illuminating letters by Barbara Striker and Bela Hidegkuti respond to Walter Gulick’s review o f David Cesarani’s book, Arthur Koestler: The Homeless Mind in Tradition and Discovery 29:2 (2002-2003), 50-55. The letters and accompanying commentary shed light on the details o f Eva Striker Zeisel’s USSR imprisonment and release, her relationship to Arthur Koestler, the lives o f George and Barbara Striker (Polanyi’s nephew and wife), and the circumstances and sources o f Cesarani’s biography. The following two letters were sent in response to my review of David Cesarani, Arthur Koestler: The Homeless Mind, published in TAD 29:2 (2002-2003), pp. 50-55. The first letter is written by Barbara Striker (1913-), widow of Gyorgy (George) Striker (1913-1992). George is the son of Michael Polanyi’s sister Laura (Mausi) and younger brother of Eva Striker Zeisel, prominently mentioned in the review. In many respects the letter supplements and corroborates my review, but it also contains valuable firsthand information about Eva Striker Zeisel’s imprisonment that, to the best of my knowledge, has not been published previously. The letter corrects my imprecise comment that “the Polanyis spoke German at home” to the more accurate statement that the Polanyis spoke German with Mama Cecile Polanyi, who never learned to speak Hungarian, although she could understand it well. Hungarian was the usual language of her salon.

Its hero is an aging revolutionary, imprisoned and psychologically tortured by the Party to which he has dedicated his life. As the pressure to confess preposterous crimes increases, he relives a career that embodies the terrible ironies and human betrayals of a totalitarian movement masking itself as an instrument of deliverance. Almost unbearably vivid in its depiction of one man's solitary Darkness at Noon, it asks questions about ends and means that have relevance not only for the past but for the perilous present.

  • Reprinted from Heisey News, August, 1987 EVA ZEISEL by Tom Felt Most
    Reprinted from Heisey News, August, 1987 EVA ZEISEL By Tom Felt Most readers of the HEISEY NEWS have heard the name of Eva Zeisel and probably know her as the prestigious ceramic designer who became Heisey’s art director in 1953. Although her association with the company was relatively brief, she did create at least two patterns for Heisey and some of you may have pieces from her No. 1637A Town and Country line in your collection. Those who are really fortunate may even have an example of the much more elusive No. 6009A Roundelay line - my own experience with this pattern has been limited to looking at the pieces on display in the Heisey Museum. What most people don’t know, however, is how extensive and fascinating Eva Zeisel’s entire career was. What follows is not directly related to Heisey, therefore - who was only one of the many illustrious clients Mrs. Zeisel designed for - but is of interest in its own right. It also amplifies and corrects some of the information previously published about her (including some details in the Candlestick book). I am indebted for most of this data to the catalogue essay written by Martin Eidelberg for a book entitled EVA ZEISEL: DESIGNER FOR INDUSTRY, published in 1984 on the occasion of an exhibition of her work organized by Le Chateau Dufresne, Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Montreal. PART 1, THE YEARS IN EUROPE She was born November 11, 1906 in Budapest, as Eva Polanyi Stricker. Her family was quite wealthy and typified the best of the upper middle class, with its cultural and social aspirations.
