Miklós Radnóti (1909–1944) is an outstanding representative of modern Hungarian lyric poetry, one of the most important authors of the magazine Nyugat.
Due to his Jewish origin, he was forced into labor during the Second World War, as a result of which he lost his life when his group was forced to march towards Germany in the fall of 1944.
