Huda preizkušnja - sledi španske gripe leta 1918 v Veržeju

Abstract

Po prvi svetovni vojni je španska gripa pomenila grožnjo svetovnih razsežnosti. Razširila se je iz Združenih držav Amerike in je zahtevala od 20 do 50 milijonov žrtev, po nekaterih ocenah celo dvakrat toliko. Na Slovenskem imamo prva poročila o posameznih obolelih že julija 1918, to je v času drugega vala širjenja bolezni. Razprava predstavlja pogled vodstva Cerkve na Slovenskem na bolezen in njene razsežnosti v nekaterih cerkvenih vzgojnih ustanovah na Slovenskem. Pogosti stiki med ustanovami so bili ugodna okoliščina, da se je bolezen širila sorazmerno hitro in obširno. Najhuje je bil prizadet salezijanski zavod Veržej, v tistem času namenjen predvsem izobraževanju avstrijskih kandidatov za salezijansko skupnost. V zavodu so se že predtem srečevali s pomanjkanjem osnovnih živil in težkimi gospodarskimi razmerami. Obolevali so predvsem mlajši, umrli so štirje člani vzgojne ekipe, ki so bili stari med 29 in 34 let.

Secondary title:	ǂA ǂhard ordeal - consequences of the Spanish flu at Veržej in the year 1918
Secondary abstract:	The Spanish flu after World War I meant a global threat. It spread from the United States of America and took between 20 and 50 million victims, in some estimations twice that much. The first news of the disease in Slovenia dates to July 1918, that is during the second wave of its spreading. The paper presents the aspect of the Slovenian Church leaders on the disease and its dimensions in some Church educational institutions in Slovenia. Frequent contacts among the institutions were a favourable circumstance for a relatively fast and vast spreading of the disease. The most affected was the Salesian College of Veržej, in that period destined to the formation of the Austrian aspirants for the Salesian life, where from the very beginning a lack of fundamental food and difficult economic situation were met. Mainly young members of the community turned sick, and four of the staff members, the age between 29 and 34 years, died.
