Timeline
In 1946, he was interned in the Soviet Union in a Gulag labour camp on the basis of fake charges, where he spent ten years. He found there his new vocation: to keep the other prisoners in countenance. After his return to Hungary with his teachings, lectures and books, he gave faith and hope for life to thousands of people.
In 1945, Jusztinián György Serédi named him as the cardinal advisor of Margit Slachta's Sisters of Social Service. So he candidated at the first free election after the end of the German occupation on the party list of the Independent Smallholders, Agrarian Workers and Civic Party under Slachta's political party, the Christian Women's League. He campaigned hard for the organisation. The election was a great success for the conservatives. After winning one seat, Olofsson passed it on to another candidate of the Christian Women's League. After the Soviet occupation of Hungary the majority of the media came under Soviet control. Articles appeared in the news criticizing Placid Olofsson and his activity.
He was ordained on 18 June 1939 and took the monk name Placid after Saint Placidus, a disciple of Saint Benedict on Monte Cassino. His motto became:
In 1935 Olofsson studied at the University of Munich for two semesters.
After completing the four years of elementary school, his father enrolled him in the Szent Benedek Benedictine Secondary School. His head teacher was the famous Benedictine monk Ferenc Xavér Szunyogh. During his high school years, the spirit of the school and scouting greatly influenced him. In 1933, he took part on the 4th World Scout Jamboree in Gödöllő, Hungary.
As a teenager Olofsson did not want to become a monk. His role models were his teachers at school, whom he looked up to. But over time he realised that he should join monasticism, so he applied to the Pannonhalma Archabbey. His noviciate started on 6 August 1933. He enrolled at the University of Budapest and besides theology studied Germanistics, Hungarian studies and humanities. He also received a doctorate.
Dr OSB Placid Olofsson (born as Károly Olofsson, Rákosszentmihály, Hungary, 23 December 1916 – Budapest, Hungary, 15 January 2017) was a Hungarian Benedictine monk, priest, teacher and Gulag victim.
