@@yasinibrahim Sorry for the bad etiquette, it was my child who was on my account. Please accept my apologies.

I am trying to source some of the information presented in this series. However, I can't find the presenters name anywhere or his credentials as a historian. Help?

Never knew that until now!

Especially knowing that Magyarul S sounds like sh in shore, and GY being the palatal D, Ð.

Same! I am American but if Hungarian ancestry. This makes me so happy!!!🤗

Indeed! I was thinking the same thing! That alone secured my Subscription! I was three when this happened. My Grampa had left Budapest in 1916, but many family members stayed, and perished during these events… It’s when I realized I needed to learn some Hungarian just out of “self defense”, so I could understand why the adults were so upset…

He is not Hungarian, but he said in another video that he lived in Budapest for a few years, so that would explain his pronunciation.

it's weird, im hungarian but my family were from then Czechoslovakia and we knew about it from pretty much the beginning.

@@9wowable I am from czechoslovakia, we knew about it from the beginning. But it was a taboo subject officially. However I did not know, never heard of strike/uprising in pilsen, 80 km from where I lived for years, until I studied in pilsen and a friend told me. His father was in it. To this day people do not know much about it.

It is true. I am also Hungarian and there have always been two subjects we were not allowed to be taught about: The treaty of Trianon and the revolution in 1956. These "pages" were missing from the books of my teacher both in elementary and high school. They just simply jumped through this whole topic...and those who dared to teach about were fired...uumh "sent" to other schools. And this one happened in the 90's ! It is like if i write down the truth here. If i dare to say, they delete it. My father was 13 years old when soviets marched into Budapest and he lived in District 8th which was the worst warzone that time around. I am not going to continue now because my comment will be deleted or i will be banned.

Wish you could say more. But there is no such thing as freedom of speech.

No offense but this doesn't seem believable

@@TheColdWarTV I'd have to ask my 95 yr old mother when she gets up as I was only 5yrs old. I do remember huge floodlights going on, and some Austrian solder fired a few shot at the Russians. From there we went to Switzerland for 2 years, where I first went to school. From there, some went to the US, some to Canada, and some to Australia.

My parents fled after the revolution. They both crosses the border into Austria separately with whatever clothes they had on and whatever they could cram into small suitcases. My parents were in the “second wave” of refugees and flew on an airplane to America where they met. Their romance continued while they detained at Camp Kilmer where they learned English, and were prepared to enter the workforce. They later married and settled in Chicago. No one runs to Communism. They will flee it only. My parents were fortunate to make it out.

@@katischra2111 An old truck driver offered us a ride, but it was too crowded so we could'nt get on. About 10 min later, we saw that truck blow up and burn, no suvivers from what my father told me. It was apperently hit by a morter, or cannon shell. I'm glad I was too young to register the gravity of the situation. At first, my parants were going to America, then, in Switzerland, a guy told them that Australia had more jobs, so we finished in Sydney.

These things were not known by public! Actually we had a very happy nation till 1956! Since then we are struggeling and waiting for Miracle!

Much more people were executed after the Saint Revolution than You mentioned! God Bless Them, Who died for our Homeland. Hungaria!

@@petronellakatona310 the soviets kicked ur ass. My grandfather fought against u, u invaded the Soviet Union, and then try to make urself as a victim.

@@centralasia6827 Wow man, as a political ally for Germany back then they had 0 choice, and USSR(later in the cold war era it was published that the Germans did that with USSR planes) planes bombed Hungary, then Horthy had no choice aswell, and you can see when they wanted to jump out to save the people they get occupied by Germany easily.

That's a bit more complex. Before and during the Grand Amnesty of 1963, the Kádár regime took advantage of a few facts: a general lack of being able to learn forbidden languages, a general lack of Hungarian diasporas abroad, and a general lack of familiarity with self enterprise forced some Hungarians to return, out of whom the regime found some willing participants who gladly played a part in propaganda movies regaling about how the amnesty was real (which was technically true) and there was nothing to fear. Generally, there were 2 types of people who still refused to return: those, who did wage armed combat (and who weren't exempt if there was evidence of them killing anybody) and those who felt that Kádár, a former minister under Rákosi is just another Stalinist who devised the ruse to imprison them. It is a controversial subject, but there were two other subgroups. For this, one must know that evidently even in the most oppressive of regimes, not everybody is a political prisoner, some do time for conventional crimes. Bear in mind that in 1956, just a decade after the trials of Arrow Cross Party members and other fascist collaborators, some were still sitting in jail for war crimes and rebels freed prisoners during the uprising. Naturally, the Western stance was that they are not to accept communist accusations against residents, which made the work of the Wiesenthal Center that much harder.

The so-called Blood in the Water match. Global politics played out in a swimming pool on the other side of the world. Many of the Hungarians on the team had no idea if their families were alive or had been killed.

A few weeks after the revolution, if I recall, in December of '56 that Khrushchev let the children of Spanish revolutionaries get back to Spain from Soviet captivity.

My great grandparents with my 7 year old grandma at the time were deported from Szenc because of the Benes Laws. Always wondered why some were deported and some weren't.

Smart move. When my dad was i the borderguard he only kept a couple of bullets in his magazines, he didnt wanted to kill anyone and gave zero shits if someone wanted to escape.

My mother to fought in the revolution and fled to Switzerland The country which I was born

My grandparents came to sweden from hungary during the revolution as refugees, its very interesting to hear about others stories about this.

My father was also assigned to patrol the border. He said that he left his station and used the riverbed to escape. He found shelter in a barn. And was confronted by farmers. He told them he left his post. They said they knew of a underground smuggling systen to get refugees to Canada. My Father's last name was Fekete.

Thank you for sharing your story. This has a lot of parallels with my grandparents and uncles. They all fled Hungary, except for my grandfather because my grandmother was a simple peasant woman who was afraid to leave. This costed my grandfather's life as he was tortured and killed, the family owned factory was taken away and converted to a shoe factory by the communist. It took 2 generations to get ourselves out of poverty and ensure that the 3rd generation is brought up without fear of where they are going to sleep or how they are going to find their next meal. The communist did tremendous amount of harm.

my father as well

Like the entire Sopron University forestry teachers (and families) who went to British Columbia en masse and helped the lumber industry ! My family were late defectors (in February 1957) and arrival in Canada 7 months later. Funny anecdote the McGill University sponsored plane landed in Gander , it was minus 25 degrees and my father thought we were tricked to land in Siberia! I was a baby and 1956 still resonates with me today, as I speak the language fluently.

It was very appreciated that Canada took all the refugees in after and during the uprising and paid the ticket to get here. When we got here we all received $5 per person Ticket to come across the Ocean was around $125 and A train ticket to your final place of your choosing Around $35 . There was no welfare so you where on your own, we all had to get some sort of job. That really was the best way to go to different Country no hand out. Since I was 11 years old I had a job that paid 25 cent an hour working on different farms as a hired man, whit no regret. And all the people that came the same way we all made it in this land. And we paid back every thing what Canada has given us 10000 times over. That is why immigration legally works the best way in any Country.

Yeah I think my Dad moved to Canada shortly after too. I hope Russia is not moving back in there soon.

My mother-in-law went out to buy some milk and saw tanks in the street

@@bigbeartanner Glad to have Hungarians come to USA. I had a great neighbor of an Armenian women and a Hungarian man. Their kid was my friend, and I learned that later, both of them fled their original countries during the cold war. God bless them!

Heroes in West and East.

I remember the Hungarian government declaring it an internal Chinese affair. My personal opinion is different, I genuinely believe in the 1984 Sino-British Agreement, though I don't like how some protesters looked up to an American president who doesn't believe in civil rights many of his own citizens would have helped Hong Kong.

I think I have heard it. I think it is online.

I have never seen any verified beheadings, the only lamppost hangings I know of were done by rebels against ÁVH officers. The uprising was very complex, and yes, former Arrow Cross members and other antisemites did fight, and some even reached out to Horthy to come home (the former governor for life lived among other former Nazis in Estoril this despite the Nazis kidnapping his son).

My grandpa fled a town called Fehégyarmat, East Hungary. He was 19 at the time

my father also fled, along with his brother and mother, sad, my father was part of the golden team program for 8 years as a teenager player . . . obviously I wasn't too bad at soccer either, naturally a world class player, some thought I was one of the best in the world at 17

My grandfather was a border guard in his early 20s after the revolution. He let many families through the border, but he had to be cautious because of the older guards, they were sometimes very cruel to the fleeing families.

@@cmoore9664 I'm not sure it would necessarily have an effect. The current Hungarian government under Prime Minister Orban and Fidesz has pursued a nationalist policy, one that has unfortunately somewhat antagonized some "mainstream" Western forces like the EU, for better or worse, and aligned ever closer with Russia, sympathizing with Putinist Russian nationalism, with which they share some similarities

@@1997lordofdoom i think you missed the joke

This bothers me to a great extent. Especially now, when there is so much discussion about cultural and ethnic genocide in Western countries. Unfortunately, Romania's strategic position provided them with a free pass to do whatever they want with their minorities. Meanwhile, Romania has a lot of good PR in the west presenting itself as a dynamic and hip country with great opportunities for growth, completely ignoring the authoritarian governing styles of their leaders. The Romania I see is a country in almost constant political turmoil where every leader plays the Hungarian card whenever their position is threathened.

@@haraldkrausz thank you for your emphaty.

Wow. May the light of nonviolent truth carry you forward out of the clutch of your abusers.

It wasn't a decision made by the Romanian people, actually students supported the Hungarian revolt, but by Gheorghiu-Dej, Stalin's favourite apostle in Romania, that was the de facto leader of Romania. Dej did all of this and was servile to the USSR in order to persuade Khrushchev to get the Red Army out of Romania and to gain some autonomy in the Soviet Bloc to direct Romania along a more nationalistic line. It is a shameful part of Romanian history.

This is funny considering that the Hungarians have oppressed and tried to force the majority Romanian population in Transylvania to Magyarize for hundreds of years. Now, to address your claims: 1. "The Romanian state policy of destroying the Hungarian minority is unchanged, the end of the Cold War did not change it" - this is mostly false because in the regions with high Magyar populations the administration is usually bilingual and there's wide usage of Hungarian and even German in all official signs and documents. The education system offers students the possibility to study in Hungarian or even German, from kindergarten all the way to university without being discriminated against. As a matter of fact the political party Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) has been part of a coalition government almost continuously since 1996. During this time the magyar minority not only has preserved its rights and minority focused institutions but has also gained some more, a list of them can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Alliance_of_Hungarians_in_Romania 2. "take away churches, school buildings" - during the communist regime all property belonged to the state, this includes any and all church property of any creed. Tt's true the state has done a poor job giving said property back in a timely manner to their rightful owner but it hasn't discriminated against anyone, be it a private individual or institution. 3. "cemeteries from WW1/WW2 that were left alone are now bulldozed over and fake Romanian crosses installed over Hungarian graves" - the cemeteries were restored not too long ago by a Hungarian NGO and they only restored what they believed to be Hungarian graves. The problem here is that the graves they restored are very likely to actually belong to soldiers from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds as the Austro-Hungarian army had soldiers from more than a dozen different ethnicities (including Romanian), not to mention the likelihood that the soldiers buried there may have been from opposing sides. This has been seen as disrespectful by a lot of Romanians. I'll be fair and admit that the way in which the local authorities have tried to fix this issue has been rather shameful. Historically, there has been a lot of bad blood between Romania and Hungary, Romanians and Hungarians, and neither side is innocent. I'm sure everyone has an opinion on which side was worse. Not getting everything you want doesn't mean you're oppressed.

You can visit near Nagykanizsa where the former MAORT-owned American suburban houses still stand, which the American company lost in the 1947 show trial.

Hungarian Dance #4 by Brahms

True. @admin plz answer.

@@mr.n0ne Brahms Hungarian Dance no. 4

Makes me think the channel should interview former West Germans who had an embassy in Nova Scotia where GDR citizens on their way to Cuba could and did file for asylum.

No chance, they already gave away half of Europe by that time to as usually the "wonderful" and "prosperous" russian leadership

Our brethren the Greek Communists (Partisans of the Greek Civil War) played a vital part in crushing the Rebellion.

Very insightful comment there .. yeah mate let's just invade East Germany and Austria aswell Hungary just to help by causing a bigger war in 1956 .. maybe also look at the area's controlled by France and United Kingdom after the war .. excuse me America don't mind us just off to help the Hungarians with our armies just passing through ..

Maybe there would have been more international condemnation. But that's about it. Whatever else was going on at the moment, intervening in Hungary would've meant direct conflict with the Soviet army itself. Avoiding that made the Cold War "cold" instead of turning the world (or Europe) into a nuclear wasteland.

There is really nothing much they can do except actual war...
