Among the names Yad Vashem honours as Righteous Among the Nations is Ágnes Nemes Nagy.
The record lists Ágnes Nemes Nagy as poet (1922–1991).
Ágnes Nemes Nagy was born at Budapest in 1922. Her recorded nationality is Hungary. She was educated at International Writing Program and Eötvös Loránd University.
By occupation Ágnes Nemes Nagy was poet, translator and writer - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Most rescuers said afterwards that they had done nothing remarkable. The historical record disagrees, which is the point of recording it.
Recognition: Kossuth Prize (1983), Righteous Among the Nations (1998), Baumgarten Prize (1948) and József Attila Prize (1969).
Ágnes Nemes Nagy died in 1991, aged 69. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
