Germaine Kerjean was born on 22 July 1893 in Le Havre, Seine-Inférieure [now Seine-Maritime], France. She was an actress, known for Les mystères de Paris (1943), The Affairs of Messalina (1951) and It Happened at the Inn (1943). She died on 6 May 1975 in Viry-Châtillon, Essonne, Île-de-France, France.- Born in 1892, Joseph Mindszenty became a priest at age 23, and was eventually appointed Archbishop of Esztergom, Hungary. During World War II Mindszenty opposed the occupying Nazis and their Hungarian fascist allies. Becoming a cardinal in 1946, he also became vocal in his opposition to the hardline communist government of Mátyás Rákosi in postwar Hungary. In 1948 he was charged with treason and imprisoned. After weeks of torture he "confessed" and was sentenced to life in prison.
On October 23, 1956, a gathering of students in Budapest demanding an end to Soviet occupation grew into a demonstration, and when army troops were sent in the next day to break it up, many of the officers and soldiers instead joined with the students and others in their demands, and soon the demonstration turned into an uprising against the Soviet occupation of the country. Soon a new premier, Imre Nagy, ordered Mindszenty released from prison and all of his rights restored. However, on November 4 the Soviets sent in the Red Army to crush the rebellion, and Mindszenty was granted asylum in the U.S. Embassy in Budapest. He stayed there, a symbol of Hungarian resistance, until 1971, when an agreement was reached with the Hungarian government that allowed him to go abroad. He died in Vienna in 1975. - Frances Weintraub Lax was born on 5 October 1895 in New York City, New York, USA.
