Lukách, Krisztina (1956)
Born in Budapest. Her father, Tamás Lukách, was secretary of the Workers' Council in the Ganz Truck and Machine Works in 1956, for which he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. In 1975, she obtained a school-leaving certificate from the Franciscan High School in Szentendre, but because this was a church school, she did not even attempt the entrance examination for history in the Faculty of Arts at the Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest. Instead she studied tourism at the College of Commerce and Catering, where she graduated with distinction in 1978. She then worked first for Cooptourist and then for Budapest Tourist until 1990. Meanwhile she obtained a degree by correspondence from Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences. In 1987, she completed training as an instructor in religion, and became involved in teaching religious instruction in the parish of Upper Krisztinaváros, where she has been involved since 1991 in the reintroduction of optional religious instruction in schools, under the auspices of the Budapest Religious Instruction Inspectorate. Since 1992, she has worked as an economist in the field of public education, at the Ministry of Culture and Public Education. Writings of hers have appeared in the Catholic children's paper Aranyág (Golden Bough) and in the religious instruction review.
