János Rózsás

János Rózsás (6 August 1926 – 2 November 2012) was a Hungarian writer.
Rózsás was born in Budapest. He was held captive in the Soviet Union between 1944 and 1953; it was during this period of internment that Rózsás became friends with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel prize-winning Soviet writer. He wrote several books and articles on the issue of the Gulag.[1] Zoltan Szalkai, the Hungarian filmmaker, made a film of János Rózsás and György Zoltán Bien, who were eyewitnesses of the gulag. Rózsás died on November 2, 2012, aged 86, in Nagykanizsa.
