Gábor Sztehlo (1909–1974) was a Lutheran Pastor in Budapest who saved Jewish children from persecution by the Nazis and the fascist Hungarian Arrow Cross Party during World War II. Sztehlo was born November 25, 1909, in Budapest and studied theology in Sopron. Starting in 1932 he served as a chaplain in Budapest, then later in Hatvan and Nagytarcsa. In 1937 he founded the first Hungarian adult education center in Nagytarcsa, the beginnings of the Folk College System, inspired by his experiences in Finland. He later returned to Budapest prior to the German invasion of Hungary in 1944. Jozsef Èl
