Vilmos Apor was a Hungarian Catholic prelate and bishop of Győr who lived from 1892 to 1945. Born into a noble family, he dedicated his life to social justice, specifically focusing on the needs of the poor and the protection of women. During the Second World War, he became a prominent figure for his courageous opposition to Nazism and his efforts to shield the Jewish population from persecution. His commitment to protecting vulnerable people from violence eventually led to his fatal injuries during the final stages of the conflict.
