Miklós Lorsi (died October 1944) was a Jewish Hungarian violinist who was murdered during the Holocaust.
[1][2] The manner of his murder, and allusion to his art as a violinist formed the line "already taut, a string about to snap" in the last poem of Miklós Radnóti.
[3][4][5][6][7] During October 1944 Lorsi was part of a 3,200 person death march.
[8] At one point during the march the SS ordered everyone to lie down, and then began shooting randomly.
[9] While he was being helped along by his friend Miklós Radnóti, an SS officer shot Lorsi in the back of the neck, killing him.
