Edith Gyömrői Ludowyk

In 1914, she married chemical engineer Ervin Renyi, with whom she had a son, Gábor, who later died in a fascist labour camp, then divorced him in 1918.

Through her uncle István Hollós,[3][4] she began to learn about psychoanalysis and attended the 5th International Psychoanalytical Congress in Budapest.

From 1918 onwards she participated in gatherings of the Sunday Circle, a group of left-wing intellectuals which included psychoanalyst René Spitz.

When the republic fell following the Romanian invasion, she fled to Vienna, where she supported herself by working at a parachute factory, and then as a sales assistant at a bookshop.

[citation needed] When Hitler came to power in 1933, Gyömrői emigrated to Prague, due to her being Jewish, along with her political views, which were opposed to the Nazi party ideologies.

[citation needed] In 1938, when Admiral Horthy's fascist regime passed its first Anti-Jewish Law, she emigrated to Sri Lanka[6] with her third husband, journalist Laszlo Ujvári, who died in 1940.
