Remembrance in Time<br />

Sándor Papp (20th January 1907) – he was a doctor at Hungarian Railways and at<br />

OTBÁ. In ’Népújság’, a local paper he declared on the 3rd <strong>of</strong> October in 1942. in an<br />

article titled ’Old memories tempt’ that he considers himself as a right wing politician.<br />

In his law-case ont he 9th <strong>of</strong> June in 1945 he referred to the fact in vein that there was a<br />

mispresentation <strong>of</strong> his words by the journalist but the committee decided that it was not<br />

necessary to hear the journalist in front <strong>of</strong> the committee.<br />

The other accusation against Sándor Papp was that as a leading but not so significant<br />

figure <strong>of</strong> the National Association <strong>of</strong> the Hungarian Doctors wrote a petition in the<br />

question <strong>of</strong> restricting the Jewish doctors’ activities. The accusations concerning his right<br />

wing thinking were justified by a private letter found in his file. According to his words<br />

he pled the gentle line <strong>of</strong> the Turul.<br />

His case was sent to the Szeged court and he was deprived <strong>of</strong> his job. The head <strong>of</strong> the<br />

committee was Sándor Szenti and Imre Molnár during the two law-cases.<br />

Imre Csáki worked at the tax <strong>of</strong>fice. He declared that: I was obliged (in written form) at<br />

the time <strong>of</strong> the Jews’ deportation to take part together with the police <strong>of</strong>ficer, the<br />

gendarmerie as the deputy <strong>of</strong> the city and as court reporter I had the task to register the<br />

valuables arrested/confiscated by the police force and to give it to the forces and later I<br />

had to be a local witness during the inventories.<br />

Despite the fact the he was only doing his duty his case was cent to the Szeged court. In<br />

this case the head <strong>of</strong> the committee was Imre Molnár.<br />

Mrs. Béla Vajda, Rózsa Uzoni (28th August 1901) was the director <strong>of</strong> the Calvinist<br />

Girls’s Secondary Grammar School here in Hódmezıvásárhely. The committee accused<br />

him <strong>of</strong> having been the member <strong>of</strong> the Turul Fellowship Society. She denied the<br />

accusations. Her confession was supported by one <strong>of</strong> her colleagues (Klára Gyırffy). The<br />

other accusation against her based on an article published in the school journal with the<br />

title „National education”. However she was not the author <strong>of</strong> the article she was accused<br />

with having been responsible for publishing it as being the publisher and allowed this<br />

article to be published. First this case was also sent to the Szeged committee but later this<br />

decision was terminated and she was allowed to work in the public sphere but she was<br />

found as unable to serve as a leading figure and for this reason she was excluded from<br />

advancement for five years.<br />

Imre Molnár was the head <strong>of</strong> the committee.<br />

László Kádár (Hmv.,1910.11.29.) he was the bible class teacher <strong>of</strong> the Calvinist Girls’s<br />

Secondary Grammar School. He was accused because <strong>of</strong> an article published in the<br />

school journal with the title „National education”. He wrote in his article about the<br />

eastern block. In his law case he explained the subject <strong>of</strong> his article and he claimed that<br />

he had not have the possibility for pro<strong>of</strong>-reading. He justified his peace supporting and<br />

anti-nazi ideas by giving a picture about his career. An interesting point in his case is that<br />

Károly Keppinger, the head <strong>of</strong> the local Volksbund justified his confessions.
