Ideas: Hungarian Revolution 50th Anniversary

Ideas: David C. Barnett reports for Ideastream, October 2006 on Cleveland Hungarians Commemorating the Hungarian Revolution 50th Anniversary. "There's a flag with a hole in it on display in the window of the Hungarian Heritage Museum in downtown Cleveland. Fifty years ago this month in Budapest, demonstrators took scissors to their national emblem and cut out the Soviet hammer and sickle that had appeared on the flag, right after World War II. The museum has just opened an exhibit recalling the dramatic events of October 1956, when Hungarians tried to shake-off the shackles of Soviet domination. And while that revolution would soon be crushed by Russian tanks, the flame of freedom was never snuffed out. ideastream's David C. Barnett spoke with two Northeast Ohioans who marched with those protestors. Their stories give a personal insight into the reasons behind the revolution."
