DescriptionWar Memorial in Giurtelecu Simleului.jpg |
English: The memorial to the men of Giurtelecu Şimleului who lost their lives in World War I and II. The monument, raised by Ioan Ardelean in the 1990s, is facing the DJ-108F at its intersection with the DC-105 (in the left). Florian Merghes (1905–1945) is one of the names carved on the plaque on the memorial. As a fatal victim of an Oryol Soviet camp, the location of Mergheş's remains has not been identified. Florian Mergheș was born to the Greek-Catholics Ana Chiş (1886–1970) and Florian Mirghesiu (1880–1958) in their Giurtelecu Ș house (47.297279, 22.790532) on Jan 24, 1905. He married Floare Mergheş, née Gal (1907–1980) in 1924 and only one of their children survived childhood, Teofil Mirghesiu (b. Giurtelecu Ș on Oct 20, 1938) who served as the Giurtelecu Ș school principal between 1968 and 1980. In 1944, the Nazi proxy regime in Hungary deported Mergheș to a Tășnad forced labor camp before the Nazi Germany lost Tășnad to the Soviets in Oct 1944. From the Tășnad camp controlled by Hitlerʼs Germany Mergheș was taken to a Stalinʼs Russia camp, from where he never returned. His wife Floare Mergheş met in Bǎdǎcin two survivors who were with Florian Mergheș in an Oryol camp: Ştefan Man (living at 70 Bǎdǎcin, son of Simon and Ana) and Vasile Crişan (living at 233 Bǎdǎcin, son of Vasile and Domnica). Man and Crişan told her that in a morning they had seen a different inmate wearing Mergheş boots, a sign of his death of typhus in 1945 before the end of the WWII in an Oryol camp, Russia. A different memorial to Florian Mergheș is at the Giurtelecu Ș cemetery, on the hill visible behind the crucifix. The Giurtelecu Ș priest remembers Florian Mergheș and deaths in WWI, WWII every year on the Heroes' Day at the church seen on the photo's top left corner. Bibliography: Mirgheşiu, Teofil. 2011.
