MAGDA NÉMETH (Budapest, 1931), eldest daughter of writer László Németh and Ella Démusz, studied chemical engineering in Budapest. Her studies were disrupted by the Hungarian Revolution of October 1956, in which her husband Ferenc Némethy took an active part. They emigrated to Canada, where their two children were born. Magda graduated there and taught at high schools in Toronto. They also lived in India where Némethy worked for a while. Since 1990, she has divided her time between Toronto and Budapest. She has published her correspondence with her father, and a memoir in Hungarian.
