two young instructors staying in her house. He even left some poison with her. These twoteachers had gained considerable popularity by their humane methods in the Serbian classes,even with Serbian parents.Kata Babe accepted the poison but did not put it in their food, because she was fond ofthem. She was afraid of the consequences and did not want to be a murderer. This lad, now anardent partisan, personally shot and killed the disobedient Serbian woman.SajkaslakThe raid could have spared Lok, but at the end of 1941, a few partisans rowed over theDanube and shot three sentries. It was on Easter Sunday that the Hungarian soldiers executedSerbians said to have sympathized with the partisans. The parish priest desperately tried toexplain to the lieutenant lodged at the parish, that the captives still waiting to be executed wereinnocent. The new group to be executed had just been lined up in front of the firing-line whenthe parish priest, Janos Gertner, arrived and114prevented the act. The lieutenant was relieved to see that the Hungarian militiamen were glad toput an end to the massacres.Fifty-three Serbians had to suffer, for the most part innocently, for the " heroic exploit" ofthe "visiting" partisans.This is the village where the number of people killed by the partisans remained belowthat of the victims of the raid. "Altogether" there were twenty-eight innocent Hungariansexecuted. Those who, under the direction of the militiamen, took part in the massacres of 1942,had fled.The relatively few captives were not treated very well here, either. Those who did notwant to admit even a slight degree of guilt or did not want to deny their nationality, were shot inthe mouth or were hanged from the window-knob (strangled by a cord) and were thentransported to the knacker's yard.Most of the inhabitants of Sajka destined for execution in return for the humanity of the Catholicparson were saved by the Orthodox priest. Special gratitude was owed in a matter involving theiconostasis. It had happened that in 1941, the "connoisseurs" among the militiamen took downthe icons of the Orthodox church, and with the purpose of enriching the Catholic church, tookthem to the parish office and handed them over to the curate Fabian Quintus. He, with aninventory, graciously accepted them from the soldiers and when the generous battalion passedon, he took the whole set back to the Orthodox church with apologies. The majority ofHungarians and the Catholic church were then left unharmed.Nevertheless we cannot forget about the executed victims:1. Peter Pasztor, forester2.

Antal CsukaFrom Dunagardony (Gardinovce) and Sajkasszentivan (Sajkas) we have no data aboutthe massacre of Hungarians in 1944 of these two sparsely populated settlements. They werepractically defenseless and the 1981 census counted seven Hungarians in one village, eighteen inthe other. The bloody reprisal was inevitable, because the 1946 registry book records thirtyeightand seventeen Serbians, respectively, who fell victim to the Hungarian raid.In Tiszakalmanfalva (Budisava) the partisans regularly blew up trains. Because of this,the raiding Hungarian Corps rounded up the peasants from the Serbian farms that surrounded therailway. After lining up the first group at the wall of the Village Hall, prepared to executetwenty people. The Hungarians living on these farms, who had been living in peace with theirneighbors all along, rushed to the scene and surrounded the victims pleading for their innocence,prevented the reprisal. The militiamen did not shoot.The partisans entering in the fall of 1944, were not informed of the humanitarian act of theHungarian peasants. On October 20, they rounded up some thirty of them who never came back.They were said to have been transported to Zsablya and were exterminated.
