Abstract
I had spent three years of my life, between 1998 and 2001, writing the life story of Júlia Rajk. The reason I have chosen her life as the subject of my work is that in the post–World War II period (1949–1989) there were two names which were silenced in Hungary. These names, after the execution of their holders, were erased from documents and history. They were airbrushed from photographs and those who knew them in person might fear imprisonment and execution for pronouncing these names loudly.
