Description

The author of these memoirs, Countess Katinka Szapáry, was born into an extremely well connected family of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. In them, she recalls the 1920's and 1930's when she was growing up in rural Hungary, her experiences of the Second World War, the Russian invasion of eastern Europe, and her post-war experiences when she was employed as a translator by the British occupying forces in Vienna, at which time her family were being subjected to the deportations and executions of the Stalinist regime. The memoirs, which were only discovered after the author's death, include details of past events that occurred in her family, as told to her by elderly relatives, including their involvement in the Hungarian uprising against the Habsburgs of 1848. Countess Szapáry was a keen observer, herself. As a result, across the pages of her memoirs pass a panoply of characters - of eccentric relatives, family retainers, serfs, highwaymen, aristocrats, gypsies, priests, members of royalty, celebrities (including Marlene Dietrich), and post-war black marketers. With the fall of Budapest to the Russians in February 1945, Countess Szapáry fled, in front of the advancing Russian army, on horseback, and often under bombardment, until she was able to cross the Austrian border – only to be taken for a spy by the German Waffen SS. In 1948, Countess Szapáry journeyed to England, as an enemy alien, in search of some lost Esterházy jewels, and remained in England, working at the Austrian Embassy, until her death on January 23rd, 1985.
