<\/span><\/div>The Gy\u00f6rgy Konr\u00e1d Prize is an award for democracy, freedom of expression and human dignity in the Danube region in honor of the Hungarian writer Gy\u00f6rgy Konr\u00e1d. Gy\u00f6rgy Konr\u00e1d, born in 1933, died in Budapest on September 13, 2019 at the age of 86. In his literary work, Konr\u00e1d repeatedly dealt with National Socialism and its consequences. Konr\u00e1d, himself the son of a Jewish family, survived the Holocaust as a child and many of his relatives were murdered. He processed this experience in his novel “Gl\u00fcck” (Happiness).<\/p>\n
Konr\u00e1d achieved international fame with his novel “The Visitor”, published in 1969, and his other important works include “Ghost Festival” (1986) and, most recently, “Guest Book – Reflections on Freedom” (2016). Konrad’s work put him in opposition to the communist regime in Hungary, and he was not allowed to publish between 1978 and 1988. Alongside Adam Michnik and V\u00e1clav Havel, he was one of the best-known dissidents and civil rights activists before the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989. Konr\u00e1d has received numerous awards and honors, including the Peace Prize of the German Federal Republic.
\nbook trade, the Herder Prize and the International Charlemagne Prize. From 1990 to 1993 he was president of the international PEN and from 1997 to 2003 president of the Akademie der K\u00fcnste in Berlin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
