The lecture presents Hungary’s role in WWII. The presentation is enlivened with maps and photos about true, undistorted events, human fates and decisions, which led to the devastation of Budapest. During the program the history of the Hospital in the Rock is given special attention, enriched with eye witnesses’ reminiscences.

2. The 1956 Revolution

 

The lecture provides an overview of the 1956 revolution, its meaning and impact. During the lesson we examine how the peaceful student demonstration evolved into a fight for freedom, what was Imre Nagy’s role as the prime minister at that time, and how these events influenced Hungary’s history.
