%X The paper discusses the difficulties of writing the life story of the wife of a leading home-grown communist, László Rajk (1909-1949), Júlia Rajk. It argues that the digital turn makes sources visible and available, which have not been accessible before, such as newspaper articles and photos. However, the building up of the memory politic of the illiberal state uses herstory as a tool of "mnemonic security" and places Júlia Rajk's life outside the canon.
