Maria Madi's Budapest Diaries: A Testimony of War and Courage

Master thesis | Media Studies (MA)
The thesis is a selection from the handwritten diaries of Dr. Maria Madi, a non-Jewish doctor who lived in Budapest between 1941 and 1945. In the diaries’ entries Dr. Madi describes everything she experiences: on one hand, she mentions air raids, Nazi Propaganda, and food rationing, on the other she talks about personal subjects, such as missing her daughter, who immigrated to the United States. Moreover, in 1944 she hides in her home for several months two Jewish people, an incredible brave act that will make Madi a “Righteous Among the Nations.”
