For many Hungarians who witnessed 1956, the Revolution had a significant and lasting influence on their lives. Second generation Hungarians, hearing their family’s stories of heroism, have also been deeply inspired. The Hungarian American Coalition and Lauer Learning began to collect these inspiring stories from 1956 survivors through this oral history website for the special 50th anniversary year. The publication of the first two books for the 50th anniversary, was a gratifying experience, but the work continues. Going forward, it is the website owners’ intention to compile as many personal accounts as possible and to feature these stories on the website.
