History

In June 1943, a sculpture by the sculptor Oláh Sándor was placed in the courtyard of the Royal Hungarian Military Academy in Nagyvárad. It was also removed by the Romanian invaders after the war, kept in the museum for a long time, and then, in the politically relaxed 1960s, it was erected in the main square of Kézdivásárhely, where it is still on display.
