Imre Kertész was born November 9, 1929 in Budapest, Hungary to a Jewish family. During World War II, Kertész was deported in 1944 at the age of 14 with other Hungarian Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and was later sent to Buchenwald. Upon his arrival at the camps, Kertész claimed to be a 16-year old worker, thus saving him from the instant extermination that awaited a 14-year old. After his camp was liberated in 1945, Kertész returned to Budapest, graduated from high school in 1948, and then went on to find work as a journalist, translator, and novelist. He told his story during the Holocaust in a semi-autobiographical novel ''Fateless'' (1992). Kertész won the Nobel Price in Literature in 2002. In 2005 he wrote the script of a movie, that he made even closer to his own personal experience. He died on 31 March 2016, aged 86, in Budapest, Hungary.
