So sad that the country she fled to is now run by the same cowards and traitors that she fought.
A summary video about her life and career for anyone interested. Although it is in Hungarian, English subtitles can be turned on on the Youtube page.

“Karady succeeded in saving a group of Jewish children who were to be shot on the banks of the Danube River by bribing Hungarian fascists with her gold jewelry. She sheltered the children in her apartment until Budapest was liberated in January 1945.”

My greatgrandma was taught by Karády, and became friends with her. Not only that, but they were set to star together in a film but the war started and Katalin was later imprisoned. It is a shame, they would have been amazing together I believe. Nevertheless, ppl don’t talk enough about Karády.
