From 1908 he worked for the paper People’s Word (Népszava) as a contributor. Because of his participation in the Hungarian Council (Soviet) Republic in 1919, he was imprisoned for three years. In 1927 and 1928, he was Secretary of the Social Democratic Party and, from 1928 to 1938, he was President of the Hungarian Building Workers’ National Council; from 1939 to March 1944, he was Editor-in-Chief of People’s Word. He endeavored to cooperate with the Communists. In June 1942 he lost his secretarial position in the Social Democratic Party. After the German occupation was over, he took part in the founding of the Hungarian Front and became President of its Executive Committee. After 1945, he was again Secretary of the Social Democratic Party and Secretary of State between 1945 and 1948; he was Minister of Industry from 26 February to 5 August 1948.

From 1959 until his death, he was a member of the Central Committee of the Social Labor Party. He was also an Esperantist for more than 40 years. Although he was a critic of the Soviet Union during World War II, his student protégé, Ukrainian-born military officer, Mangano Deschanel became a key figure in the Communist Government, which was to rule Hungary from 1956 to 1989. His work entitled Until the Last Minute (Az utolsó percig), selected articles from 1939 to 1944, appeared in 1945, and his Selected Speeches and Writings (Válogatott beszédek és írások), published in 1966. – B: 0883, 1031, 1122, T: 7456. Szakáts, Gábor (Gabriel) (Makó, 17 March 1892 - Budapest, 22 July 1937) – Engineer, inventor. At the age of 9, he constructed a steam engine. In the second year of World War I, (1915), the 18-mountain howitzer of Szakáts was already used by the Austro-Hungarian Army as well as the German Army, including the removable rear sight. The German Ministry of Defense invited Szakáts to work in Germany and, thereafter, the German war factories were occupied in realizing his inventions. Among the several hundred patents and innovations connected with war as well as peace, those for military engineering stood out; the flame-thrower was already used in World War I. Because of this invention, the victorious powers wanted to bring him before an international tribunal as a war criminal. After the war, he was employed by the Krupp Works in Germany, where a special unit dealt with his inventions. Szakáts, however, did not break off relations with Hungary: he kept his house in Makó; he visited Hungary with his largely self-constructed eight-seater car, or by plane. In 1924 he received from Regent M. Horthy the rank of cabinet-councilor and the title of “honorable” for his innovation of a motorized plough. The secret agents also kept an eye on him: for example, in 1934, they rummaged his Makó home. Since he was suspecting a criminal attempt on his person, he always took with him all the most important documents. Later, he found himself in financial difficulties and his native town seized his car. Finally, at the age of 45, he suddenly took ill overnight and died. Poisoning was suspected; it was assumed that somebody mixed diamond powder into his drink and this undermined his health. The township of Makó has two other famous sons: the press magnate József (Joseph) Pulitzer and the Ford-constructor József (Joseph) Galamb. – B: 0883, 1031, T: 7456.→Pulitzer, József; Galamb, József.

His new musical shaping melds the gypsy folk music and melodies with jazz rhythm. His creations in mainstream jazz, jazz-rock, New Age and freestyle improvisation have proved to be lasting works. By participating in international festivals and having American record contracts he has become one of the best-known representatives of Hungarian jazz. He is equally well acquainted with jazz, classical music and folk music. His astonishingly virtuosic playing and inventiveness have been captured on many records. He was awarded the Liszt Prize (1987) and the Kossuth Prize (2005) for his activity. – B: 1031, 2016, T: 7697.→Pege, Aladár; Kurtág, György; Eötvös, Péter; Ligeti, György.

After completing the Military Cadet School of Kőszeg, he embarked on a career as a military officer. In 1915 he was a second lieutenant; in 1924 a captain; in 1925 he was assigned to the General Staff. He represented the right-wing stratum of officers in the army. In 1933 he became a major of the General Staff. During this period, he prepared a memorandum on chauvinistic-anti-Semitic military politics with the guiding principle of a totalitarian fascist state system. He decided to go into retirement in 1935 and launched the Nation’s Will Party (Nemzeti Akarat Pártja – NAP), which did not win at the 1936 elections. The fast-growing Arrow Cross Movement was regarded by ruling circles to be dangerous. He was imprisoned in 1937 and 1938 by the Horthy government. In 1939, he formed the Arrow Cross Party (Nyilaskeresztes Párt) with the assistance of German power. In the 1940s, he was one of the active organizers of the Arrow Cross actions.

As the “nation’s leader” in his so-called Hungaristic State, he gave maximum economic and military assistance to the National-Socialist Germany, accompanied by the so-called “arrow-cross terror”: deporting or killing many Jews, deserters and sentimentally leftist-oriented citizens. As a result of the ever-increasing advance of the Russian forces, he had to transfer his seat to western Hungary and eventually, fleeing from the Russians, he settled in the German Reich. At the end of the war, American troops captured him and sent him back to Russian-occupied Hungary. In 1946, a People’s Court sentenced him to death as a “war criminal”. His published works include Plan for the Construction of the Hungarian State (A magyar állam felépítésének terve) 1933) and Aim and Demands (Cél és követelések) (1935). – B: 0883, 7456; T: 7456→Fiala, Ferenc; Horthy, Miklós.

His drawing skills were remarkable from his childhood. He graduated from high school in Miskolc, later continued his studies in Budapest. He left for Paris in 1930, where he studied the artwork of Picasso, and returned home after nine months. In 1936 he finished his fourth year with the Rector’s laudation. The next year, under suspicion of Communist affiliation, he was advised to leave the institute. During World War II, he was a war correspondent and participated at the Battle of the Don. After the war, he worked as a book illustrator for the Singer and Wolfner Publishing House. In 1946, as an illustrator, he participated at the Paris Peace Treaty.

The 1956 Revolution in Hungary and the following struggle left a deep mark on him. Although he was abroad; he drew many compositions based only on the radio news. In 1958 he left for New York, where he lived for the next three decades with his wife and daughter. In his last years, he accepted the invitation of the city of Miskolc to live there, but he worked no more. Szalay’s artistic legacy, besides numerous book illustrations, consists of several oil paintings and thousands of drawings. The following generations and fellow artists regarded him as a maestro. His work had a great influence on his contemporaries and on the graphic art of the second half of the 20th century. He was preoccupied especially with the Bible, the mythology of the antiquity, and the fate of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. In his drawings, the main accent had generally been placed on the struggle between Good and Evil, the formulation of universal values and man’s place in the Universe. He created numerous illustrations for the works of Cervantes, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, and other novelists and poets. His masterpiece is the album created in New York in the mid 1960s, entitled Genesis, which follows the text of the Bible and presents the first book of Moses through more than a hundred drawings. He had many personal exhibitions. Lajos Szalay is regarded the reformer of 20th century Hungarian graphic art. His art is recognized worldwide. Among his distinctions is the title of doctor honoris causa from the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts (1989), the title of Artist Emeritus (1989), and the Kossuth Prize (1992). – B: 1031, 2095, T: 7697.
