Hungarian Jewish writer Imre Kertész was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2002 for such books as "Kaddish for a Child Not Born" and "Fateless." During World War II, when he was 14, Kertész was deported with other Hungarian Jews to the Nazi's Auschwitz concentration camp, and was later sent to Buchenwald. The Nobel committee said they honored him "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history."
