Dezső Szabó

Dezső Szabó was born in Kolozsvár in 1879, into a family of minor nobility who lived on public posts. A pupil at the Reformed college of his town, he entered the Eötvös College in Budapest, trained in Hungarian, French and the Finno-Ugric languages, then stayed in Paris thanks to a scholarship. A secondary-school teacher, dismissed from Székesfehérvár and then sent to Nagyvárad, he was transferred from one provincial town to another as scandals dictated. He later fell out with the Horthy regime and denounced the German danger. Weakened by hunger, he died in Budapest during the siege, in January 1945.
