This English language site is a very close resemblance of our Hungarian language site. You can find every information here you see on the Hungarian site except this site doesn't have the Picture Album and the Forum modules.  Those pages could be accessed through these links Photo Album , Forum or by navigating back to our Hungarian site and clicking on the "Album" or "Forum" on the menubar.  We welcome you to post or reply to any topics in English, since the Forum is open to both languages.

 Book Recommendation    

1956 book.jpgThe Fall of the Red Star by Helen M. Szablya  Co-Authored by Peggy King Anderson

 

 

In this fast-moving novel of the Hungarian Revolution is based on the true-life account of the Szablya family's dramatic struggle for freedom. At the heart of the novel is fourteen-year-old Stephen, who as a boy saw his father taken away by the police. Stephen knows only a Hungary governed by the iron fist of Communism, where gathering in crowds is forbidden and boy scouting is illegal. Then comes the 1956 uprising and he finds himself with a rifle in his hand. Four days of freedom are hard won, then mercilessly crushed by the Soviets. Now Stephen and his family must make a run for the border and freedom.

The book also has a Hungarian version "A voros csillag lehull" which could be acquired through Ilona Szablya (Email). The English version could be bought here: The fall of the red star.
