Announcement for opening of the Csoóri Sándor Memorial House in the village of Zámoly (Csoóri’s birthplace) in Hungary’s Fejér County. The elder Csoóri [1930-2016] - Hungarian poet, writer, journalist, politician, supporter of the táncház movement - was born in Zámoly where he went to school until the age of 12. Csoóri returned to Zámoly to visit his parents as long as they were still alive. After his parents died their house was empty until a recent 2025-2026 initiative to restore it and make it into a historical site. Now the house functions as a community space with a permanent exhibit dedicated to Csoóri’s lifework. It is run by the Petőfi Museum of Literature and an Association for Memorial Houses of Literary Figures. Materials from family collections were made available for the exhibit. The announcement begins with a Csoóri poem about stepping into the old house. First published at: pim.hu/hirek/csoori-sandor-emlekhaz-atadoja
