Interwar Hungarian Cultural Diplomacy, 1918-1941 GRAND DELUSIONS: INTERWAR HUNGARIAN CULTURAL DIPLOMACY, 1918-1941 Zsolt Nagy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Konrad Jarausch Dr. Robert Jenkins Dr. Louise McReynolds Dr. Donald J. Raleigh Dr. Peter Sherwood ©2012 Zsolt Nagy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ZSOLT NAGY: Grand Delusions: Interwar Hungarian Cultural Diplomacy, 1918-1941 (Under the direction of Chad Bryant) This dissertation examines the development of interwar Hungarian cultural diplomacy, concentrating on efforts in three areas: academia, the tourist industry, and motion picture and radio production. In the post-Versailles era new and old European states faced the challenge of creating or revising their respective national identities. They also forged images of their respective nations for various foreign audiences. In Hungary, the significance of international public opinion became painfully apparent only after the First World War when the victorious Allies granted 71.5 percent of the country’s territory to its neighbors. In order to secure Hungary’s status as a proper European nation and to gain invaluable international support for its foreign policy aims—the revision of the Trianon Treaty and international recognition of the Hungarian state—the Hungarian political elite devised an all-encompassing cultural diplomatic campaign. In cooperation with the country’s intellectual and industrial elite, they mobilized and deployed the country’s cultural capital—real and imagined—in order to influence international public opinion. The Hungarian leadership viewed cultural diplomatic efforts as a continuation of war by other means. While the main focus of this study is Hungary, this dissertation also offers a transnational view of interwar cultural diplomacy. First, interwar Hungarian cultural diplomacy was influenced by and carried out in competition with other East and East- iii Central European nations. Second, these efforts were part of a larger, nearly universal, phenomenon whereby nations large and small sought to sway international public opinion. While domestic discussions about Hungarianness vis-à-vis Europeanness had a crucial effect on the image they tried to construct, models and information provided by other countries also played an important role in the reorganization of Hungarian cultural production. Finally, changes in international relations also influenced the ways cultural diplomacy supplemented traditional diplomacy. In the end, this dissertation offers a different perspective on the interwar period by examining a small country’s efforts to maneuver the uncertain terrain of post First World War international relations. It is a story of how Hungarian elites perceived, and misperceived, themselves, their surroundings, and their own ability to affect the country’s fate amid high hopes and deep-seated anxieties about the country’s place in a newly reconstructed Europe. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is the product of a long and winding journey that started sixteen years ago when I arrived in the United States from my native Hungary. Along the way, I relied on the help of many people. I made the first stage of this journey at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. There, Colin Loader not only taught me how to take college notes, but also put it in my head that one day I too might become a historian. I often jokingly remind him that he is to “blame” for all my “struggles.” Barbara Wallace taught me how to write a historical research paper and shared my obsession with Liverpool Football Club. Paul Werth’s assignments challenged me and pushed me to better myself as a student of history. Paul still helps me in times of crisis and doubt. At the University of Chicago, my preceptor Joshua Arthurs helped me to adjust to the intellectual rigor of the Master of Art Program in the Social Sciences. Michael Geyer, my MA thesis advisor, challenged me to think of European history in a different way by applying the concepts of transnational history. Here at UNC Chapel Hill my advisor Chad Bryant patiently directed my development into a professional historian. He did not hesitate for a second when I suddenly changed the direction of my research. He helped me craft my first publication and read through draft after draft of my dissertation. He wrote so many recommendation letters for me I have lost count. Most importantly, he took a chance on me and my project from the beginning thus opening a door for me to enter this strangely invigorating world of academia. Seminars I took with Christopher Browning, Terence McIntosh, Dani v Botsman (now at Yale), Konrad Jarausch, and Donald J. Raleigh opened new avenues in my approach to history. Professors Jarausch and Raleigh generously agreed to be on my dissertation committee. They too have written a myriad of recommendation letters on my behalf, read and commented on my chapters, and most vitally, always supported me. Louise McReynolds also agreed to be on my committee, commented on my colloquium presentation, and offered critical advice—underlined with a great sense of humor. Being an RA for Melissa Bullard not only introduced me to the world of nineteenth-century Brooklyn, but also made it financially possible for me to conduct my oversees research. I must mention the sustained help I received from the administrative staff of the department: Violet Anderson, Joy Jones, Joyce Loftin, and Wanda Wallace. Outside of the History Department, I received a great deal of help from UNC’s Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies. Its director Robert Jenkins became one of my committee members and read early drafts of my chapters, as did the associate director of the center, Jacqueline Olich. I was also lucky enough that Peter Sherwood of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures agreed to join my committee. He read and reread the entire manuscript and with seemingly endless patience corrected my English and allowed me to utilize his expertise as a renowned translator of Hungarian literature. Davis Library and its Interlibrary Loan staff helped me to locate obscure sources; without the service they provide, dissertations such as this would not be possible. The department’s Mowry Fellowship, UNC Center for Global Initiatives’ Pre- Dissertation Travel Award, and the UNC Graduate School’s Travel Grant made my research possible. The generous support of the Quinn Fellowship Program allowed me vi the luxury of a year of uninterrupted writing. I also must thank my brother-in-law, Michael McCormack, and his wife Cindy for helping me out in a time of dire need. And lastly, I owe great deal of debt to my dear friend Zoltán Baranyai and his wife Judit for insisting that I stay with them while doing research in Hungary. While I did not have a typical cohort of East and East-Central European graduate students I benefitted greatly from the support of my UNC colleagues cross the board regardless of focus and specialization. During the early stages of the program Marko Dumančić, Michael Meng and Gleb Tsipursky took a great deal of time helping me with administrative issues and navigating the challenges of devising a viable research agenda. In Friederike Brühöfener I gained a friend. We shared countless hours studying together in Davis Library, discussing history and politics afterhours off campus, and she too offered helpful comments at various stages of this project. She and the other “Ladies of Pemberley”—Nora Doyle, Kimbely Kutz, and Rachel Hynson—and their open-door policy helped me through some difficult times. In addition to those already mentioned, a number of historians, friends, and colleagues read and commented on my work or helped me in other invaluable ways on both sides of the Atlantic. Robert Nemes, Holly Case, Alice Freifeld, and David S. Frey read early versions of different chapters. Andrea Orzoff and Gábor Ujváry not only offered helpful advice, but also allowed me to read their book manuscripts before publication. Márta Jusztin, Balázs Ablonczy, and Paul E. Michelson also generously shared their work with me. Attila Pók of the Hungarian Historical Institute followed and supported my work since my years as an MA student in Chicago—beyond his duty as the deputy director of the Historical Institute at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Pál vii Pritz, Michael Miller, and Miklós Zeidler met with me on numerous occasions in Budapest and helped me conceptualize my research. Miklós continues to answer my unremitting barrage of email questions with patience and diligence. No historian work would be possible without the aid of archivists and librarians. The staff at the Hungarian National Library, the Budapest Metropolitan Library, and the Hungarian Parliamentary Library was invaluable. In the Hungarian National Archive János Kalmár and Szilveszter Dékány were professional and more than generous with their time. Kenneth E. Nyirady (at the Library of Congress) answered email after email. Andrea Bakonyi at the Tourism Library of the Budapest Business School made numerous trips to the “dungeon” to satisfy my curiosity. Tamás Sávoly, István Salamon, and Hajnalka Sütheő welcomed me at the private archive of the Hungarian radio. Márton Kurutz and Lilla Ignéczi helped me navigate the collection and library of the Hungarian Film Archive, while Vera Gyürey and Szilágyi Blanka made it possible for me to have a copy of the film “Hungaria.” My unusually long acknowledgement reflects the fact that writing this dissertation was far from solitary work. However, there is certainly one more person that needs to be mentioned here for, without her selfless love and unremitting faith in me and my goals, this dissertation would have never been possible: my wife, Karla. She read and improved every single page I typed in the past sixteen years.

  • The Mission of Higher Education
    THE MISSION OF HIGHER EDUCATION By Éva Sándor Kriszt Rector Budapest Business School 1. The responsibilities of Higher Education Perhaps the most obvious responsibility of higher education is the education of young (and often not-so-young) professionals. Another very important function is research, and it has other important functions, but here we will be concerned mainly with its educational function. How it can fulfill this function can be measured by examining what benefits it can provide (or more precisely: has provided) to the target group (the graduates). This – the “return of investment” – can be measured by considering the rewards appearing is the form of better jobs, higher remuneration or other forms of appreciation. Some of these can be expressed in monetary terms; others (such as self-fulfilment or more favourable working conditions) cannot be quantified so easily. Universities have always been characterized by intense and extensive international cooperation with other universities. Students have also been recruited internationally. Perhaps the word “recruited” is used inappropriately: students usually came in large numbers from foreign countries willingly and enthusiastically to renowned universities in Italy, Spain and other European countries. The oldest European university was founded in 1158, in Bologna, and the word university: the word universitas was coined at its foundation. Islamic universities were founded even earlier: Al-Azhar University was established in 970 or 972 as a centre of Islamic learning, but its students also studied logic, grammar, rhetoric, and how to calculate the lunar phases of the moon. In the Page 59 Middle Ages Europe saw the birth of several universities: the best known ones are Oxford and Cambridge in Britain, Padova, Siena, Macerata, Naples in Italy, and Salamanca and Valladolid in Spain.

  • The Czechoslovak Exiles and Anti-Semitism in Occupied Europe During the Second World War
    WALKING ON EGG-SHELLS: THE CZECHOSLOVAK EXILES AND ANTI-SEMITISM IN OCCUPIED EUROPE DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR JAN LÁNÍČEK In late June 1942, at the peak of the deportations of the Czech and Slovak Jews from the Protectorate and Slovakia to ghettos and death camps, Josef Kodíček addressed the issue of Nazi anti-Semitism over the air waves of the Czechoslovak BBC Service in London: “It is obvious that Nazi anti-Semitism which originally was only a coldly calculated weapon of agitation, has in the course of time become complete madness, an attempt to throw the guilt for all the unhappiness into which Hitler has led the world on to someone visible and powerless.”2 Wartime BBC broadcasts from Britain to occupied Europe should not be viewed as normal radio speeches commenting on events of the war.3 The radio waves were one of the “other” weapons of the war — a tactical propaganda weapon to support the ideology and politics of each side in the conflict, with the intention of influencing the population living under Nazi rule as well as in the Allied countries. Nazi anti-Jewish policies were an inseparable part of that conflict because the destruction of European Jewry was one of the main objectives of the Nazi political and military campaign.4 This, however, does not mean that the Allies ascribed the same importance to the persecution of Jews as did the Nazis and thus the BBC’s broadcasting of information about the massacres needs to be seen in relation to the propaganda aims of the 1 This article was written as part of the grant project GAČR 13–15989P “The Czechs, Slovaks and Jews: Together but Apart, 1938–1989.” An earlier version of this article was published as Jan Láníček, “The Czechoslovak Service of the BBC and the Jews during World War II,” in Yad Vashem Studies, Vol.

  • Cécile Tormay.” Hungarian Cultural Studies
    Kádár, Judit. “An Exceptional Case of Women’s Self-Advocacy in Interwar Hungary: Cécile Tormay.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 13 (2020) DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2020.385 An Exceptional Case of Women’s Self-Advocacy in Interwar Hungary: Cécile Tormay* Judit Kádár Abstract: A Hungarian writer who became a prominent public figure in the Horthy era, Cécile Tormay’s (1875-1937) fame and success was principally due to her memoir, Bujdosó könyv [‘The Hiding Book’], a work published in 1920-21 that depicts the two Hungarian revolutions following World War I. This popular work enjoyed several editions during the interwar period and was translated into English and French for propaganda purposes. After World War II, Bujdosó könyv was among the first works banned by Hungarian authorities for its anti-Semitism. Hailed as the most notable female author of the interwar period, Tormay’s name rose anew after the fall of socialism in 1989. Fueled by the official biography written two years after her death in the Horthy era by the conservative professor of literature, János Hankiss, a revival in the cult surrounding Tormay’s work has taken place in recent years. Hankiss portrayed Tormay as a woman of Hungarian noble descent whose deeds were motivated by sheer patriotism. This paper contends that Cécile Tormay was embraced by the interwar elite for her active role in the counter-revolutionary conspiracy against the First Hungarian Republic. Keywords: assimilation, anti-Semitism, Christian “gentlemanly” middle class, “urban” middle class, Cécile Tormay Biography: Judit Kádár received her Ph.D.

  • Harmony of Babel Harmony of Babel Profiles of Famous Polyglots of Europe
    In the late 1980s the distinguished interpreter Kató Lomb researched historical and contemporary lomb polyglots in an effort to understand their linguistic feats. Among her fellow polyglots she asked: “When can we say we know a language?” “Which is the most important language skill: grammar, vocabulary, or good pronunciation?” harmony “What method did you use to learn languages?” “Has it ever happened to you that you started learning a language, but could not cope with it?” of “What connection do you see between age and babel language learning?” “Are there ‘easy’ and ‘difficult,’ ‘rich’ and ‘poor,’ ‘beautiful’ and ‘less beautiful’ languages?” :Europe Polyglots of Famous of Profiles “What is multilingualism good for?” The answers Lomb collected from her interlocutors are singular and often profound. Grounded in real-world experience, they will be of interest to linguaphiles who are seeking to supplement their theoretical knowledge of language learning. kató lomb (1909–2003) was called “possibly HARMONY the most accomplished polyglot in the world” by linguist Stephen Krashen. One of the pioneers of simultaneous interpreting, Lomb worked in 16 languages in her native Hungary and abroad.

  • Ivo PEJČOCH, Fašismus V Českých Zemích. Fašistické A
    CENTRAL EUROPEAN PAPERS 2014 / II / 1 203 Ivo PEJČOCH Fašismus v českých zemích. Fašistické a nacionálněsocialistické strany a hnutí v Čechách a na Moravě 1922–1945 Praha: Academia 2011, 864 pages ISBN 978-80-200-1919-6 Critical review of Ivo Pejčoch’s book “Fascism in Czech countries. Fascist and national-so- cialist parties and movements in Bohemia and Moravia 1922-1945” The peer reviewed book written by Ivo Pejčoch, a historian working in the Military Historical Institute, was published by the Academia publishing house in 2011. The central topic of the monograph is, as the name suggests, mapping of the Czech fascism from the time of its origination in early 1920s through the period of Munich agreement and World War II to the year 1945. As the author mentions in preface, he restricts himself to the activity of organizations of Czech nation and language, due to extent limitation. The topic of the book picks up the threads of the earlier published monographs by Tomáš Pasák and Milan Nakonečný. But unlike Pasák’s book “Czech fascism 1922-1945 and col- laboration”, Ivo Pejčoch does not analyze fascism and seek causes of sympathies of a num- ber of important personalities to that ideology. On the contrary, his book rather presents a summary of parties, small parties and movements related to fascism and National Social- ism. He deals in more detail with the major ones - i.e. the Národní obec fašistická (National Fascist Community) or Vlajka (The Flag), but also for example the Kuratorium pro výchovu mládeže (Board for Youth Education) that was not a political party but, under the guid- ance of Emanuel Moravec, aimed at spreading the Roman-Empire ideas and influencing a large group of primarily young Protectorate inhabitants.

  • AN INVESTIGATION of the IDEALS of SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS Elemér Kunsági
    AN INVESTIGATION OF THE IDEALS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS Elemér Kunsági =4 Ideals have an important role in the devlopment of youth. The living person, historical hero, character from literature on an imagined person to whom the child, the young man would like to be similar, can be an. important source of the development of hia per- sonality. In the practi'ce of Pedagogy many do not pay proper attention- -not even in the education of teenagers-to the fact that inquiries should be made into the particular characteristic features of people who are highly esteemed by their pupils. During the course of their work within education with regard to teenagers it ia completely arbitrary who should be the ones most likely to be characterized, to be put in the centre of'interest so that they may be the models .of action for their pupils. This opinion and practice can be traced even better in the education of youth. Teachers often say that choaing an ideal and following-'it is common only in the case of amall children. This opinion is based on the fact that amall children have strong imi- tative propensities, they do not have their own principles, their affection for an attractive ideal is merely emotional. Their emotional instability, imaginative fantasy make small children choose a new type of ideal very often. • According to certain practicing teachers,young people form their own characters on the basis of their moral education, on their establiahed, world view. There are no examples, ideals in front of them, they even conaider it a "childish thing" if they are thought to look upon 8ome peraon or persons or certain human characteristic features as fit to be imitated.
