dc.description.abstractIn 1956 Hungarian people were fed up with the Soviet oppression and communism so they rose against the regime and demanded freedom. They did not give up the fights even when Soviet troops again invaded and destroyed much of Budapest. As Hungary is a little country, average American citizens hardly know anything about her history; however, the US played a major role in the events. Furthermore, Hungarians conveyed a message which is highly appreciated in the United States’ belief system: they called attention to the value of freedom and the importance of patriotism. The reason for their relative ignorance is not the lack of sources, but probably the lack of attention to the topic on television and in history classes. [...] In this study I have tried to collect all kinds of resources which inform American citizens about the revolution. My purpose is neither to investigate the professional evaluations of the revolution, nor the survey of the minds of intellectuals’ resources, but to outline average people’s opportunities to hear about Hungary and the revolution of 1956.hu_HU
