Élethelyzetek a Morgenstern/ Marczali család levelezéséből (1875-1877)
Life Situations from the Morgenstern/Marczali Family Correspondence (1875-1877)

Summary/Abstract: The paper is about the correspondence between Henrik Marczali (1856– 1940) and his siblings and brother-in-law. It also includes the memoir of a relative from 1971. The letters were written between 1875 and 1877 by Marczali’s sisters Janka (1854–1925), Regina (1858–1926), Gizella (1860–1886) and Janka’s husband Miksa Berger (1851–1927). The siblings’ relationships and information about their home are revealed, as well as commentary on the Jewish religion. This information is much more direct about the Morgenstern-Marczali family relations than in Henrik Marczali’s autobiography titled Emlékeim. Another important significance of these letters are the words addressed to the budding historian Zsigmond Simonyi (1853–1919), who was also studying in Berlin and Paris on a scholarship. In the memoir Marczali’s niece recalls how the family members living in Marcali remembered him.
