for our National Freedom Day



Hungarian patriots remember October 23, 1956 - and recall that some of those are still in power.
this compilation starts with the National Anthem and the radio message screaming for the 'free nations of the world' to help us out, to help get rid of the Russian invasion.
(no-one came and the Revolution was halted. in the forthcoming years the memory of this uplifting event was mucked by labelling 1956 a 'counter-revolution - something that is against the normal order)
then you are to hear Mindszenty's speach.
the female voice belongs to one of the fighters of '56. she says that the crime should not be forgotten. 'a crime is a crime a crime all right'.

some shocking original footage supplements the memorial.

we shall not forget you, heroes of 1956.

SzélsőFa, the history is always re-written by the ones in power to suit their needs… This is so infuriating and frustrating. The important thing is for the young generation to know the truth and not just a fabricated truth.

fortunately, step-by-step, the records of the events of 1956 are unfolding and the youth (and the old alike) are provided with data for understanding and evaluating the events.

(quite sad though, that most of the circles who had power in 1956 to supress the nation's freedom movement are still in power.)
