As part of our series on lesser known Hungarian Americans we introduce Béla Kornitzer, the influential biographer and journalist.
Béla Kornitzer was born in 1910 and as a young man he became a star newspaper reporter in Budapest. When only in his twenties, he was already a respected Parliament reporter who befriended politicians, aristocrats and hobnobbed with the Hungarian elite.

In 1940 he published a successful interview series of famous and often autocratic fathers and their sons entitled Apák és Fiúk (Fathers and Sons.) The preface to the series was written by Archduke Joseph Francis of the House of Habsburg and it included interviews with Miklós Horthy, several members of the Habsburg family, the writer Zsigmond Móricz and Prime Ministers Gyula Gömbös and Sándor Wekerle.
