“Not all heroes wear capes. For example, János loved hats and overcoats," can be heard at the beginning of the video made by Axióma about "the greatest Hungarian from the highlands", count János Esterházy.
In the short film published on Facebook, they follow the life journey of János Esterházy: Zoboralja, Sopron, founding a newspaper, family program, building Hungarian houses, parliamentary activity. They highlight his creed, his political involvement, and his uncompromising commitment to the Hungarians of the highlands.
"The sign of Hungarianness is the cross, not the swastika"
- just as we cannot ignore these words when looking at the life of the Martyr Count, the makers of the short film highlight them in a worthy way; as well as his role in the Slovak parliament - since he was the only one who did not vote for the Slovak Jewish laws. They also draw attention to the fact that János Esterházy was on the death list of both the Soviet and Nazi secret services.
Finally, they deal with the count's life after the war, the years of forced labor, and then with the count's memory. They talk about the Esterházy Academy operating in Martos, as well as the shrine in Alsóbodok.
"Building a common future with the help of God is the only possible way"
- concludes the video of Axióma.
