Changing Times: Kanadai Magyar Munkás (The Canadian-Hungarian Worker) and the 1956 Revolution
From: The 1956 Hungarian Revolution
$2.21
The refugee crisis following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution initiated a time of change, growth, and transformation for Canada’s Hungarian communities. The arrival of almost 38,000 refugees in 1956–1957 had a significant impact on the Hungarian-Canadian press, and newspapers found themselves with the possibility of attracting thousands of new readers from a group that reflected great cultural, class, educational, and political diversity. The Kanadai Magyar Munkás (Canadian-Hungarian Worker), the second-largest Hungarian weekly printed in Canada, one that was openly affiliated with the country’s Communist Party and was a supporter of Hungary’s post-war regime, found itself in a very delicate situation following the 1956 revolution.
