Memorial plaque to the heroic dead of the Losonc high school
Statue, monument, memorial plaque
In 1940, as part of the 350th anniversary celebrations of the Losonc high school, the memory of the heroic dead of the high school - 2 teachers and 52 students - was immortalized. The memorial plaque was made of white Carrara marble by the Losonc stonemason János Ferencz, a master stonemason, according to the design of Dénes Györgyi, a college professor and architect. The memorial plaque impressed with its noble simplicity, material, and dimensions - 240x120cm. 425 pengő 97 fillér were collected from public donations for the costs. The war veteran Archduke József, among others, gave a speech at the grand ceremony. In 1945, the Czechoslovak authorities removed the memorial plaque. It was placed in the garden of the Reformed church, where it broke into pieces during the renovation in 1978.
