Heritage: Hungarian; Jewish
Contact:PO Box 1240, Bowral, NSW 2576 Ph. (048)62 1715 Re heritage: AustLit had heritage as 'Austrian', but the introduction to Kraus's autobiography says that it is written through the eyes of a Hungarian child' (p.5) and the text makes other references to Hungary, the Hungarian language of his family, Hungarian cuisine and Hungarian culture. Also the publisher blurb on the back cover of the autobiography says: 'This story is written by a Hungarian migrant boy...'. On the basis of this evidence, I have changed Kraus's heritage to 'Hungarian'; I've also added 'Jewish' heritage. TW 23/06/2005
