For many years, the story of Mária Gulovič, a teacher turned spy, was not known in Slovakia.
Welcome back Slovak Roots fans!
It is time for another edition of our Slovak Roots newsletter, dedicated to the community of people with ties to Slovakia.
In this newest instalment, you’ll learn the story of a schoolteacher turned spy that saved American and British agents in Slovakia during World War II, discover the Novohrad region in south-central Slovakia, and read how Slovak-American Chris Seferyn made the marriage of his great-grandparents official 120 years later.
For many years, her story was not known in Slovakia. It was only in the early 2000s that a book on the tragic mission of American and British agents during the Slovak National Uprising was published, and her story was told.
