Áron Márton (b. Csíkszentdomokos 1896 — d. Alba Iulia 1980)
Márton was a Székely Roman Catholic prelate who served as a priest in Cluj (1936–1938) and then Bishop of Alba Iulia (1938–1980). Following the Second Vienna Award, which saw Northern Transylvania retaken by Hungary, he campaigned both publicly and privately against the deportation of Jews by the Hungarian government, for which he was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem in 1999. In 1992 his cause for beatification commenced, and he was titled a Servant of God. 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of his ordination.

Albatros (אַלבאַטראָס) was an avant-garde Yiddish literary journal edited (and largely written) by Greenberg between 1922 and 1923. It was first published out of Warsaw, then Berlin, because Greenberg was charged with blasphemy and forced to leave Poland. He left Germany for Mandatory Palestine in 1923 and Albatros ceased publication.
