Esterházy was the most consistent advocate for the Hungarian cause in the post-Trianon Uplands (presentday Southern Slovakia). In 1942, he was the only member of the Slovak Parliament to say no to the law on the deportation of Jews. First he was persecuted by the Gestapo, later also persecuted and arrested by the occupying Soviets, and sent to the gulags for two years of forced labour. Upon his return, he was first sentenced to death for no stated reason by communist Czechoslovakia, then ‘as a clemency gesture’, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He died in prison.
