BÉLA NÓVÉ (1956) is a Hungarian writer, historian and documentary film maker living in Budapest. Since the late 1970s he has published a number of books, essays and studies on different themes and contributed to a dozen of documentary films as scriptwriter, interviewer and director. As a devoted researcher of 20th century oral history memoirs during the past decade his interest turned more and more to minority and refugee conflicts and their personal testimonies. A recent result of this is his biography of Ödön Pásint published in Cluj (Kolozsvár, Clausenburg) in Hungarian in 2012, awaiting its English edition. Another result is a thoroughly researched monograph and a documentary film “PATRIA NOSTRA: Minor Hungarian refugees of 1956 in the French Foreign Legion”. Both will be published this year for the 60th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution and the author’s 60th birthday.
