Hungarian Summary:

A magyar állam ezeréves történelmének tanulságairól 2001 augusztusában keszült egy másfel órás filmfelvétel. Az egyszerre felvett hangosan gondolkodást a szabad beszédben ejtett hibákkal együtt szerkesztette filmformába es öltöztette fel idézetekkel, képanyaggal a film szerkesztő-rendezője, Szakaly Istvan. Glatz Ferenc - Idézet a HISTORIA c. lapból XXVII. évfolyam 3. szám 39. oldal.

Ferenc Glatz was born in Csepel on 2 April 1941. He attended school in Csepel, Szigetszentmiklós and the Fay Secondary School in Ferencváros and graduated from Eötvös Loránd University (1964).

He has been founding editor-in-chief of the historical political periodical História since 1979. After several study trips abroad (in the Federal Republic of Germany, England, France and the Soviet Union) he was appointed Secretary-General of the Committee of Modern Age Methodology and Source Criticism of the International Committee of Historical Sciences (ICHS) (1985), became Secretary General of the Committee of Historiography (1990–95) and was invited speaker at several World Congresses of Historians. He is author of several books on history and historical theory and of hundreds of scientific studies and collections of essays in Hungarian and various foreign languages.

In 1989–1990 he was Minister of Education and Culture in Miklós Németh's second government, several measures are linked with his name that contributed to the dismantling of the Soviet-type cultural policy system (the abolition of censure and the compulsory education of Russian as a foreign language, the launching of a foreign language teaching programme, the annulment of the state monopoly of school founding, re-regulation of the relationship between the state and the Church, the founding of an alternative framework for financing culture etc.) After the termination of his portfolio in 1990 he became Director of the Institute of History of the HAS again.
