Kamil Žiška: SÁRA SALKHÁZI

UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF MONS. BERNARD BOBER, ARCHBISHOP - METROPOLITAN

The story of Sára Salkházi proves to be a powerful testimony of the time, place and time. She is intrinsically linked to Košice. The woman with her hands in her pockets, as she calls herself, has left an indelible mark on the history of the city. Sára Salkházi was an intellectual from a good and secure family. She lived the bohemian life of a journalist, but she underwent a great transformation and became a martyr of faith. Her strong social feelings, kindness and curiosity were manifested in every action, in her work, in her interests and in her writing. The articles that this girl wrote under the name Sifax were read and discussed with enthusiasm by people. She could have chosen the easier path of a hotelier's daughter, but dissatisfaction forced her to look for another place and another, perhaps even more demanding path. She worked as a teacher, a bookbinder, a laborer, even in a milliner's shop, but it was not until she was 29 that she found her true calling. It was in the Society of Social Sisters. What were Sára Salkházi's inner struggles? And what fruits of spiritual work did she lay on the altar of faith? During World War II, she helped many defenseless and persecuted people. Her life was ended by a Nazi bullet.
