In October 1956, a spontaneous uprising took Hungarian Communist
authorities by surprise, prompting Soviet authorities to invade the
country. After a few days of violent fighting, the revolt was
crushed. In the wake of the event, some 200,000 refugees left
Hungary, 35,000 of whom made their way to Canada. This would be the
first time Canada would accept so many refugees of a single origin,
setting a precedent for later refugee initiatives. More than fifty
years later, this collection focuses on the impact of the
revolution in Hungary, in Canada, and around the world.
