Mezei Márk - Utolsó szombat

January 14, 1944 Budapest, Nagyatádi Szabó utca 32. One of the best-known spiritual leaders of the Jewish world, Áron Rokeáh, is hiding behind the worn gate. On his last evening in Budapest, he addresses his followers with a shocking, powerful message, which will appear in several editions within a few weeks. However, from the second edition onwards, dozens of sentences are omitted from the original text. What happened? Coincidence? Error? Deliberate forgery? It's impossible to say. However, the question remains with us: what did the Belz rebbe want to say? A few doors away from the rabbi's hiding place, two women are looking for themselves. One is an educated Jewish girl from a good family, the other is an uncorrupted, simple servant. Banned from university, she is an illegal communist and deeply religious Christian. They cannot love each other, but they cannot exist without the other's love. Everyone is looking for the answer to the same question: go or stay? Fight or give up? The reader holds in his hands the story of the cruel, yet human struggles of the last hours.
