Anna Kéthly’s ashes were repatriated and reburied in Budapest’s New Public Cemetery in 1990; her full rehabilitation followed in 1994.

Countess Clotilde Apponyi (née von Mensdorff-Pouilly-Dietrichstein) was born into one of Europe’s most illustrious aristocratic families, with dynastic ties to the British, German, and Russian royal houses. As a prominent Austro-Hungarian noblewoman, she became a leading women’s rights advocate, politician, and diplomat in the early 20th century. Countess Clotilde Apponyi died on 1 September 1942, at the age of 74 in Budapest, Hungary. Initially buried in Farkasréti Cemetery, her remains—along with those of her husband—were later transferred to Éberhárd (now in Slovakia), where the Apponyi family estate and castle were located.
