Török spent his childhood in Szerdahely (Miercurea Sibiului) and attended primary school in Brassó and Fogaras (Brașov and Făgăraș, respectively).

According to his autobiography, in the Kingdom of Romania, he worked as a boiler heater and coachman at the Czell brewery, as a field worker, and as a woodcutter.

In Cluj, he passed the machine belt manufacturer exam at the Renner tannery, and was a chorister and actor at the Hungarian Theater for a short time.

[2] After the Second World War, he edited the series Ünnepi levelek of Magyar Rádió from 1945 to 1948, where he interviewed world-renowned scientists and artists.

At the end of April 1944, Török was delegated to the Jewish Council of Budapest, representing the Converts, upon the intercession of his former colleague at Magyarság, far-right journalist and later government minister Ferenc Rajniss.

With this step, the Döme Sztójay government was able to demonstrate in front of foreign missions that the Converts were treated positively.

[4] Török wrote in his memoir that "if the yellow badge remains, then this new Association is really an eye-wash, nothing more than a decorative cover [for the government]".

Nevertheless, Török became vice-president of the newly erected council, which was officially presided by attorney György Auer, but Török remained the de facto leader and most active member of the council, whose headquarters was the Scottish Mission (St. Columba's Church of Scotland) building at Vörösmarty utca 49–51.

[5] Török constantly tried to get money for their operation from the Christian churches, but he also demanded rights similar to those of the capital's Jewish council (for instance, police protection).

On 31 July–1 August, György Auer and Sándor Török negotiated with members of the Central Jewish Council in the Ministry of the Interior on the subject, but without result.

The Christian Jewish Council was disestablished in the first days of the Arrow Cross Party coup, which took place on 15 October 1944.
