"I know first-hand how essential it is to have the help of just one person, who at the moment of moral collapse, did not forget the essential principle of leading a moral life: Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor who was saved by his Polish nanny. "To help another human being when to do so will earn you scorn, contempt and even threaten your life and that of your family, that is to take a moral stand of incalculable value. János Esterházy did and he deserves our recognition and our eternal thanks." ...

SISTER SARA SALKAHAZI BEATIFICATION FOUR YEARS AGO
This was passed onto me. It's from a March 2010 church bulletin from St. Charles Borromeo Church in North Hollywood California.
SISTER SARA SALKAHAZI: A MODEL OF SACRIFICE
"Sara Salkahazi was born in Kosice (at that time a part of Hungary) on May 11, 1899, now her FEAST DAY. In 1929, she entered the Society of Sisters of Social Service in Budapest. There she vowed her entire life to the service of God with the motto "Alleluia! Here I am! Send me! Her love of Christ was manifested in diverse areas of social service, in Catholic movements, and by authoring a variety of literary works. She was a talented teacher, journalist, and community organizer.
"In 1943, she consciously offered her life for the Society, particularly for the weak and ill, in case the Sisters of the Church were persecuted. On December 27, 1944 the Hungarian Nazis surrounded the Home of Working Women where Sara was in charge. She was arrested along with a co-worker and a group of Jewish refugees she was hiding. That same evening, all of them were stripped naked and shot, their bodies falling into the icy River Danube. Before her execution, Sister Sara knelt down, facing her executioners and made a great sign of the cross. God accepted the sacrifice of her life.
The Eucharistic Celebration of Sister Sara's Beautification was in Budapest
on September 17, 2006.
I'm also linking to an article/interview about her from Catholic Online, and Cardinal Peter Erdo.
Note Septmeber 2019. Clicking on the title of this old post should take you to the link.
