Árpád Tihanyi

From the Wikipedia page

Árpád Tihanyi (Győr, 7 January 1916 - Győr, 31 December 1957) was a professor who was later executed for the activities of the 1956 Revolution.

Árpád Tihanyi was a member of the Transdanubian National Council in Győr in 1956. Following the Mosonmagyaróvár incident (Mosonmagyaróvári sortűz)of 25 October, he was one of those who hastened to Mosonmagyaróvár from the National Council to investigate the case and to calm the emotions. His decisive influence was that in the aftermath of the row-break, the protest before the council hall was not deadly.

Árpád Tihanyi was arrested on 27 December 1956 due to events in Mosonmagyaróvár. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and then sentenced to death on charges of involvement in the conspiracy to incite the democratic state order and incitement to murder, and was executed on 31 December 1957. His property was confiscated, and his widow could repay their belongings at half-yearly salary.

After his death, the family members found a letter concealed in the collar of the incense, in which he credited with his Catholic religion, and reassured his family that he was not afraid of death.

He left two sons Árpád and László. As a leader of the Szigethy Attila Foundation, the latter is still working to preserve the memory of the revolution.

For decades, they were restless and rested during the rehabilitation at the cemetery of Győr-Nádorvárosi cemetery. Its memories are preserved in Győr-Nádorváros. In Győr Ferenc Liszt street, on the wall of his school, in 2003 he was placed in the tile portrayed by Péter Sándor József Alkotász.
