Eszter Miron was the honorary president of the Association of Descendants of Historical Hungary in Israel.
"Gazgág's life path was a defining element of the development of cultural, scientific and social relations between Israel and Hungary in the past decades," he said in his eulogy, which was published on March 15 this year, when he received the Central Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit from Katalin Novák, the President of the Republic of Hungary.
Eszter Miron was born in Jánosháza in 1923 in an Orthodox Jewish family. Later, as a historian-archivist, he repeatedly presented the horrors of the Holocaust using the example of his native village, as 516 of the approximately six hundred Jews of Jánoszáza lost their lives during the Emergency.
He studied in Budapest, where he came into contact with the resistance against the Nazis and the communist movement, so he was first interned in Kistarcsá and then deported to Auschwitz.
He survived the death and labor camps, and after the Second World War he chose the newly established Israel as his homeland. He settled first in Haifa and then in Jerusalem.
After his studies in history, he worked in the Zionist archives in Jerusalem, where he assisted the work of many Hungarian specialists doing research in Israel, and also did scientific work himself.
In Jerusalem, he was the leader of the local Hungarian-speaking community, and for many years he also performed the tasks of representing the interests of the survivors, helping his comrades in the management of their compensation cases with voluntary work.
