Life

Illés Kaczér, who was called Katz before the Magyarization of his name, began as a journalist in the Hungarian provinces before moving to the capital Budapest , where he had some success with the newspaper A Nap and also as a playwright. After the defeat of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919, he had to move to Vienna and then lived in Berlin . In 1933 he had to flee from Germany to Czechoslovakia and from there to Great Britain again in 1938 . In 1938 his novel Pao was banned in Germany and placed on the list of banned books . Kaczér finally moved to Israel in 1959 .

As a journalist he wrote for Magyar Ujság from 1933 to 1938 , in London from 1941 to 1945 for Central European Observer and in Israel for the Hungarian-speaking Új Kelet . In the 1950s he wrote a four-volume family saga about Eastern Jews who moved to Central Europe via the Carpathian Mountains.

Kaczér also wrote under the pseudonyms Georg Klee and Paul Balatow. He mastered the Yiddish, German, Romanian, English and Hebrew languages, but his literary work was always in Hungarian.

Kaczér married Ara Erenthal and had three children with her.
