The Impact of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Argentina
From: The 1956 Hungarian Revolution
$1.43
The outbreak of the Hungarian revolution on October 23, 1956, brought forth solidarity movements from Hungarian émigrés and their environment all over the world. It has justifiably been called “the cleanest revolution,” for Hungarians were probably never as united as they were during those days, and during the long months and years of retribution that followed. émigrés saw only one mission for themselves: to help the fighting nation. In Argentina, the response was overwhelming. Among the émigrés of 1948, differences between left and right disappeared as churches, associations, clubs, and youth groups worked together to help the freedom fighters, and later the refugees, as well as those who couldn’t escape. Through marches, protests, masses, donations, petitions, publications, and exhibitions, all of émigré society was mobilized.
