Zsuzsanna Ozsváth (born July 4, 1934) is a Hungarian author and translator of Jewish descent. After moving to the United States, she documented her experience as a holocaust survivor and translated several works of poetry and literature, mainly those of Hungarian and German authors.
Personal Life
[edit]In 1950, Zsuzsanna married Dr. Istvan “Pista” Ozsváth (1928-2013).[1]. In 1957 they immigrated to Hamburg, Germany and later in 1962 they moved to the Unites States, where he had been offered a position as a mathematics professor at The University of Texas in Austin[2]. The following year, he accepted a position at the newly-formed Graduate Research Center of the Southwest, which later became The University of Texas at Dallas, and the Ozsváths moved to the Dallas area, where they raised their two children[3]
Professional Life
[edit]A classical pianist, Ozsváth was awarded a concert diploma from the State Academy of Music at Hamburg in 1961. She went on to earn her PhD in German Language and Literature from The University of Texas at Austin in 1968[4]
Ozsváth joined The University of Texas at Dallas as a lecturer in 1976, initially teaching 19th- and 20th-century literature and history classes. Shortly thereafter, she began teaching courses about the Holocaust. Ozsváth received numerous prestigious honors, including the Fulbright Award (1990), IREX Award (1990), and she was a co-recipient of one of the most prestigious Hungarian literary awards, the Milán Füst Prize of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1995[5].
She spearheaded the founding of the Holocaust Studies Program at UT Dallas in 1986 and was also instrumental in the establishment of the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at UT Dallas a few years later[6]. In 2003, she was appointed to the Leah and Paul Lewis Chair of Holocaust Studies[5]. She continued teaching until 2020, at which time she was named Professor Emeritas.
