About Placid Olofsson
- 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.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. I have repeatedly said: note, the Lord has humor! For ten years the Soviet Union has done everything to ruin me.
- I'm still here with my 91 years, but where is the Soviet Union?
