  The life of the Steinfeld family is an excellent illustration of the modern history of Debrecen and Hungary on the personal level of the individual. The authentically detectable life paths of five generations of the family from Hebrew aristocracy strivingfor assimilation, and the merits won via their activities that affected the lives of many people have been unduly forgotten in the midst of history and the storms of society.The persistent intentions of family members for social acceptance and recognition according to their merits, and ultimately, the seeming success of all of these, is a reflection of the constant volatility of Belle Époque and the 20th century extremes.

  When the Royal couple visited Debrecen on 23 October 1918 to attend the inauguration of the University “Clinic” site, nobody could have predicted that upcoming events would soon shatter the state order of Hungary and fundamentally determine the country’s fate. The town received the news of the monarch appointing Mihály Károlyi as head of government on 30 October. Citizens of Debrecen gathered in front of the Town Hall and demanded the display of the national flag. Soldiers pinned cockades in the national colours in place of their cap badges. The National Council of Debrecen was formed and joined the Hungarian National Council on 1 November. When the Republic of Councils was declared on 21 March 1919 in Budapest, the Directorate was also formed in Debrecen. However, the “glory days” of the Republic of Councils did not last long here, as
  Romanian forces occupied the town only a month later on 23 April 1919. When the Romanian occupiers left on 11 March 1920, they left a ransacked and impoverished town in their wake. The University of Debrecen had three faculties in those days, namely the Faculties of Reformed Theology, Law and Liberal Arts. The Faculty of Medicine was under organisation. In October 1919, Béla Sz. Kun, dean of the Faculty of Law initiated an investigation into the conduct of every lecturer and employee of the University during the time of the Republic of Councils. The investigation was later extended to include the period of the Romanian occupation. This study set out to review the public disciplinary proceedings against lecturers non-exhaustively, mainly on the basis of sources in the archives. The author demonstrates through the examples of a number of disciplinary procedures how retaliations happened in the Horthy-period.

  Anna Bornemissza, Princess of Transylvania found it important to aid the Reformed Church. Not only did she aid the church together with her husband, Mihály Apafi I, but she also continued this activity on her own. As a Patrone, she payed particular attention to the Reformed schools. This meant aiding the institution and the teachers, as well as some students. She meant to facilitate education and the spread of Reformed tenets by aiding book publishing. According to the sources, the monarch dealt with the election of the preachers of the estates subject to her supervision, she contributed to their salary in terms of material benefits, as well as benefits in kind. In her estate in Fogaras, she maintained a spital, where she gave food to the needy. Being the First Lady of Transylvania, the role of the Patrone was one of her duties on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was her volunteer task because of her deep religiousness. The presentation of her activities is very timely in the memorial year of the Reformation.
