The\u00a0Hungarian Revolution of 1956<\/p>\n

The twentieth century was filled with tragedies but the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 stands out as one of the most poignant. It was a nationwide\u00a0revolt\u00a0against the government of its\u00a0Soviet-imposed policies, lasting from 23 October until 10 November 1956. What had led up to it was that after the end of World War II, Russian troops occupied Hungary and they had no plans of ever leaving. Shortly thereafter, Hungarians had been coerced into signing a mutual assistance treaty with the Soviet Union. Thus after Germany’s defeat in WW II, the Soviet Union imposed a communist dictatorship on Hungary (and other Eastern block countries as well).<\/p>\n

The Hungarian Revolution actually began as a student demonstration, which attracted thousands as they marched through central\u00a0Budapest\u00a0to the\u00a0Parliament building, calling out on the streets using a van with loudspeakers via\u00a0Radio Free Europe. A student delegation, entering the\u00a0radio building\u00a0to try to broadcast\u00a0the students’ demands, but was detained. When the delegation’s release was demanded by the demonstrators outside, they were fired upon by the\u00a0State\u2019s Secret Security Police\u00a0from within the building. One student died and was wrapped in a flag and held above the crowd.<\/p>\n

The revolt spread quickly across\u00a0Hungary<\/a>\u00a0and the government collapsed. A new government formally disbanded the Secret Police, declared its intention to withdraw from the\u00a0Warsaw Pact<\/a> (= a treaty among the\u00a0Soviet Union<\/a>\u00a0and seven other Soviet\u00a0satellite states<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Central and Eastern Europe<\/a>\u00a0in existence during the\u00a0Cold War<\/a>), and pledged to re-establish free elections. By the end of October 1956, fighting had almost stopped and a sense of normality began to return.<\/p>\n

But the defeat of the Hungarian revolution was one of the darkest moments of the Cold War. At certain points since its outbreak on October 23, the revolution had looked like it was on the verge of an amazing triumph. The entire nation had appeared to have taken up arms against the regime. Rebels, often armed with nothing more than kitchen implements and gasoline, were disabling Soviet tanks and achieving other — sometimes small but meaningful — victories throughout the country.<\/p>\n

After announcing a willingness to negotiate a withdrawal of Soviet forces, the\u00a0Soviet<\/a> Union, tragically, and unbeknownst to anyone outside the Kremlin, completely reversed itself and decided to put a final, violent end to the rebellion and moved to crush the revolution. On November 4, 1956, a large Soviet force invaded Budapest and other regions of the country. The Hungarian resistance continued until 10 November 1956. Over 2,500 Hungarians and 700 Soviet troops were killed in the conflict, and 200,000 Hungarians fled as refugees. Mass arrests and denunciations continued for months thereafter. By January 1957, the new Soviet-installed government had suppressed all public opposition.<\/p>\n

Public discussion about this revolution was suppressed in Hungary for more than 30 years. Since the thaw of the 1980s, it has been a subject of intense study and debate. At the inauguration of the\u00a0Third Hungarian Republic<\/a>\u00a0in 1989, 23 October was declared a national holiday.<\/p>\n

The Sunday October 16 exhibit opening will be followed by a viewing of the film, \u201cPLAY YOUR OWN GAME.\u201d The events of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution intertwined with the life of the reigning soccer star Ferenc Pusk\u00e1s give new meaning to the bloody revolt that cracked the myth of communist ideology. Through archival footage, director Ferenc T\u00f6r\u00f6k portrays the power of the human spirit that ignited the uprising of the Hungarian people against the evil and hugely oppressive communist Soviet empire. It will be followed by the 2007 award winning film, \u201cFREEDOM DANCE\u201d (animated documentary, intercutting original character driven animation w\/ recorded interviews and photos). FREEDOM DANCE is the story of a young artist and his newly wedded wife, Edward and Judy Hilbert, literally running for their lives \u2013 on foot, by truck, by bus, by train and by boat \u2013 on a gutsy and determined quest for personal independence. The film chronicles the four months they spent escaping the ruthless control of Communist Hungary during and post 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The\u00a0Hungarian Revolution of 1956 The twentieth century was filled with tragedies but the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 stands out as one of the most poignant. It was a nationwide\u00a0revolt\u00a0against the government of its\u00a0Soviet-imposed policies, lasting from 23 October until 10 November 1956. What had led up to it was that after the end of World War II, Russian troops occupied Hungary and they had no plans of ever leaving. Shortly thereafter, Hungarians had been coerced into signing a mutual assistance treaty with the Soviet Union. Thus after Germany's defeat in WW II, the Soviet Union imposed a communist dictatorship on Hungary (and other Eastern block countries as well). The Hungarian Revolution actually began as a student demonstration, which attracted thousands as they marched through central\u00a0Budapest\u00a0to the\u00a0Parliament building, calling out on the streets using a van with loudspeakers via\u00a0Radio Free Europe. A student delegation, entering the\u00a0radio building\u00a0to try to broadcast\u00a0the students' demands, but was detained. When the delegation's release was demanded by the demonstrators outside, they were fired upon by the\u00a0State\u2019s Secret Security Police\u00a0from within the building. One student died and was wrapped in a flag and held above the crowd. The revolt spread quickly across\u00a0Hungary\u00a0and the government collapsed. A new government formally disbanded the Secret Police, declared its intention to withdraw from the\u00a0Warsaw Pact (= a treaty among the\u00a0Soviet Union\u00a0and seven other Soviet\u00a0satellite states\u00a0in\u00a0Central and Eastern Europe\u00a0in existence during the\u00a0Cold War), and pledged to re-establish free elections. By the end of October 1956, fighting had almost stopped and a sense of normality began to return. But the defeat of the Hungarian revolution was one of the darkest moments of the Cold War. At certain points since its outbreak on October 23, the revolution had looked like it was on the verge of an amazing triumph. The entire nation had appeared to have taken up arms against the regime. Rebels, often armed with nothing more than kitchen implements and gasoline, were disabling Soviet tanks and achieving other -- sometimes small but meaningful -- victories throughout the country. After announcing a willingness to negotiate a withdrawal of Soviet forces, the\u00a0Soviet Union, tragically, and unbeknownst to anyone outside the Kremlin, completely reversed itself and decided to put a final, violent end to the rebellion and moved to crush the revolution. On November 4, 1956, a large Soviet force invaded Budapest and other regions of the country. The Hungarian resistance continued until 10 November 1956. Over 2,500 Hungarians and 700 Soviet troops were killed in the conflict, and 200,000 Hungarians fled as refugees. Mass arrests and denunciations continued for months thereafter. By January 1957, the new Soviet-installed government had suppressed all public opposition. Public discussion about this revolution was suppressed in Hungary for more than 30 years. Since the thaw of the 1980s, it has been a subject of intense study and debate. At the inauguration of the\u00a0Third Hungarian Republic\u00a0in 1989, 23 October was declared a national holiday.
