1944 · 1945 The Uprising and the frontPovstanie a front

After the Slovak National Uprising broke out in 1944 the seminary on the Kapitula was closed and turned into a German military hospital, and the priest Ľudovít Veselý, who had joined the resistance as an intelligence officer, was hiding in that building when the Gestapo arrested and murdered him. The front passed in the winter of 1944–45: by early February 1945 the area was behind the lines, and Vavro Šrobár of the Slovak National Council could travel here to see the bishop, who told him he recognised no government but Tiso's.Po vypuknutí Slovenského národného povstania v roku 1944 seminár na Kapitule zrušili a zriadili v ňom nemecký vojenský špitál; v tej budove sa ukrýval kňaz Ľudovít Veselý, ktorý sa zapojil do odboja ako spravodajský dôstojník — gestapo ho tam zatklo a zavraždilo. Front prešiel v zime 1944 – 1945: začiatkom februára 1945 už bola oblasť za líniou frontu a Vavro Šrobár zo Slovenskej národnej rady sem mohol pricestovať za biskupom, ktorý mu povedal, že neuznáva inú vládu ako Tisovu.
