Dezső Szomory (born Moshe Weisz; 2 June 1869 – 30 November 1944) was a Hungarian Jewish writer and dramatist. In his history plays and other works, he developed a unique tone and style of Budapest Hungarian; his work has been compared to that of Marcel Proust. He died during the Holocaust while living under Swedish protection in Budapest, suffering "starvation, loneliness, and depression".
