Hungarian Revolution Remembered

During October/November 1956, Hungarians revolted against the Soviet occupation. For a few brief weeks it appered that the Central European country would be free. Then on 4 November the communists counterattacked and put down this revolt in a bloodbath. Remember and Reflect upon those free days in Budapest which signalled a shock to the Soviet Empire. The Hungarian flag pictured here represents the banner after freedom fighters tore out the communist symbol in the center. It recalls the spirit of 1956 now 65 years ago!
