Stefánia Szilárd

Stefánia Szilárd was a Hungarian-Soviet mathematician. She and her husband, Ervin Bauer, emigrated to the USSR in 1925 and were killed during the Great Purge a decade later. Karl Szilárd, also a mathematician, was her younger brother (the two had no relation to Leo Szilard). In Moscow the Bauers socialized with other Hungarian emigres, including Máté Zalka, Béla Illés, and Antal Hidas. As an adult Mikhail Bauer served in a labor army and was sent to Barnaul to work in an engineering plant before returning to Leningrad in 1956. He published a memoir in 2003.
