The existence and achievements of Jewish "self-rescuers" within Nazi-occupied Hungary remains, in spite of their significance, historically underexplored. In this illuminating chronicle of the life and work of Jewish couple, László and Eugenia Szamosi, Remembering Resistance seeks to address this lacunae, offering an unique insight into a family's personal history of resistance under the Nazi regime. Combining oral testimony from fellow survivors, with a previously-unpublished translation of László's memoir, this book foregrounds the remarkable work of the Szamosis and their network, in rescuing Jews from the Death Marches and reuniting displaced families. Through doing so, this book offers a powerful framework for mediating how we remember Jewish experiences of the Holocaust.
Asa Eger is the grandson of Eugenia and László Szamosi and a Professor of the Islamic World at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Focusing on the intersection of archaeology and history he specializes in Anatolia and Syria-Palestine from the Byzantine period through to the twelfth century. His recent publications include; The Archaeology of Medieval Islamic Frontiers (University Press of Colorado, 2019) and Antioch: A History (Routledge, 2021).
