Servant of God János Esterházy was born on 14.03.1901 in the Slovak village of Veľké Zálužie, near Nitra. His father, Count János Mihály, died when his son was 4 years old. His mother, Elizabeth Tarnowska, passed on to him a lively Catholic faith, Hungarian and Polish patriotism and a spirit of service. As a leading representative of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia, he was a member of parliament in Prague and Bratislava. He courageously spoke out in defence of divine right, human dignity, justice and truth. During World War II he participated in the rescue of persecuted Jews, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles and members of other nations. He was persecuted by members of the Hungarian Arrow Cross Party and by the German Nazis. He always courageously proclaimed: "Our sign is the Cross!"
