Her parents were Jewish but her mother converted to Catholicism before Klára was born, and Klára was baptized Catholic as a baby. She never married. She was an extraordinary individual, bright and well educated; she spoke several languages and wrote in Hungarian in a beautiful literary style. After her liberation from the concentration camp, for years she lived in communist Hungary. During the 1970s, she immigrated into neighboring Austria and there she dedicated her life to the service of the Catholic Church by writing, translating, editing religious literature. She did this until her death at the age of 64 from brain cancer.ver menos
