Bela (Bay-la) Kornitzer was born in Szerencs , Hungary on November 28, 1910. He was one of nine children, with five brothers and three sisters. According to a biographical form filled out by Kornitzer, he never graduated from high school, although all five of his brothers went on to receive University degrees. . In fact - due to widespread restrictive practices against Jews at the time - no one in his immediate family had the opportunity to pursue higher education and attain university degrees. At the age of 16, Kornitzer saw a future for himself as an artist, a career not encouraged by his father. In order to pursue his dream, he left home for Budapest , where he began his career as a journalist. His early publications were sketches and brief commentary of prominent men, which appeared in the city's major newspaper. An editor at the paper, more impressed with his writing, advised him to pursue journalism. Kornitzer went on to become the reporter-commentator in the Hungarian parliament for about a decade.

Series Description
The Audio and Film Recordings series consists primarily of audio recordings of interviews Bela Kornitzer conducted with his subjects and are reel to reels, cassette tapes, and record albums. All but two of the audio cassettes, that of Alicia Karpati and Cadet Kirk, are copies of the reel to reel recordings. The film recordings are of General Douglas Mac Arthur and of Robert Frost. The Robert Frost film recording is a copy of the “At Home With Robert Frost” televised interview conducted by Bela Kornitzer and broadcast on NBC. Some of these interviews have been transcribed and can be found by subject name in Series 1-4. Not all of the interviews have been transcribed, and accordingly not all of the interviews on paper are transcriptions of these audio recordings. Also included are several miscellaneous commercial record albums purchased by Kornitzer featuring audio essays and interviews on some of subjects contained within this collection.
