JEWISH MONUMENTS IN SÁTORALJAÚJHELY
The Dr. Albert Székely memorial plaque
33 Kazinczy Ferenc Street
Dr. Albert Székely (1864–1944), “a Hungarian Jewish citizen from Sátoraljaújhely,” was public prosecutor of Zemplén County and also a solicitor, a member of the Kazinczy Circle and the Kossuth Casino, the founder of the County Museum and the Business High School, a renowned journalist, a local patriot, and an active figure in public life.
“The dormant feeling of patriotism must be awoken in the people, so that they will love the soil that gives them bread; the denominations and the people must be made to understand that they form one nation politically; differences in religion and nationality must not make one man jealous of and the enemy of the other…”
Quotation – Albert Székely
Székely was 80 years old when he was sent to the ghetto, where he lost his wife on his 80th birthday. He was then deported and became one of the victims of the Holocaust. A memorial plaque on the public prosecutor’s head office offers a tribute to his memory.
