Sára Salkaházi was a Hungarian Catholic nun of the Sisters of Social Service who lived from 1899 to 1944. Originally a journalist and teacher, she joined her religious order in 1929 and dedicated much of her life to supporting working women through various associations and educational initiatives. During the Second World War, she used her positions to provide sanctuary to approximately one hundred Jewish refugees. For her courageous efforts to protect those persecuted by the Nazi-aligned Arrow Cross Party, she was eventually executed in Budapest.
