To the editor: On 70th Anniversary of Hungarian Revolution of 1956
When the 1956 Hungarian Revolution broke out, I remember the excitement and worry in our apartment building as neighbors returned with news of developments, injuries, and deaths. There was no CNN or text messaging in those days.
On November 4, 1956, the Hungarian popular uprising against the communist regime was bloodily beaten down by the Soviet army. As a result, about 200,000 Hungarians turned their backs on their homeland, about 180,000 fled across the green border to Austria. Thousands of them were underage and unaccompanied. For Austria, who was only one year independent in 1956, the mass flight became a test of probation.
70 years ago, 180,000 Hungarians fled from the Soviet army. They were only welcome to Austria as long as they were in line with expectations.
